Re: What Is This Bolt For?
This reminds me of a story about my late father in law. I spent the afternoon putting a overdrive cable in a 53. After i did, i was upset that the handle was upside down and the handle said overdrive backwards/upside down. We did a lot of stuff and it was a long day so I went home. I came back to see if the overdrive worked. Drove the car and when I pulled the handle the handle came off the cable. He loosed the set screw knowing I would be back the next day. I was humiliated and angry he made fun of me for a minute. Later... and more importantly, I learned something.

So....you learned to check and make sure the OVERDRIVE handle's set screw is tight, every time BEFORE you drive the car? DD |

If that is what you got out of that little ditty, you can also flip the handle so it reads correct and tighen the handle screw.... no need to rerun the cable.... but yep.... Last edited by Tinker; 06-29-2020 at 01:49 AM. |

You guys just weren't looking in the right place. My Dad used a temporary version of this when roofing: https://www.guardianfall.com/perform...ok-roof-anchor And I knew a stone-carver who had one of these mounted in the bed of his pickup: https://www.skyhookmfr.com/products.html |
