221. Re: [Shop-talk] Cast iron to PVC soil pipe adapter? (score: 1)
Author: "Karl Vacek" <kvacek@ameritech.net>
Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 16:04:37 -0600
Why not just use cast iron ? It's not that horribly expensive compared to the hassle of trying to reliably join PVC to cast iron. And no leading is required below grade nowadays - at least not here i

Well, HD isn't much of a plumbing supply - you'll have to go to a real supply for this one. 80 years old, there's a chance it's XH (extra heavy) instead of S (service weight). That may be a problem t

Hey - you're on your way. I don't know what M or W stands for - if it's anything the plumbing supply will know, but I bet it's service weight. The weights haven't changed in a looong time, and actual

Please be careful with those... Not much of a base there -- looks like they could topple easily. I trust fabrications more than castings, too. Suppose that little base cracked ? _____________________

Oh, thanks ! Another thing to worry about... Mine is a Dayton (Grainger). Bought it in 1971 and that seems like just a few years ago. Never considered that it might not be immortal like me ;-) Karl _

I never had ramps till a couple of years ago, when I hit a sale on the heavy Rhino Ramps, and I love them. It's far faster than jacking and then adjusting and inserting the jackstands, then carefully

OK - I've been waiting for this one. Is 24 volts too much ? I have a heavy-duty lift-truck-type battery charger that I'd love to put to this use. There are no other taps available on the transformer

That's just what I've been thinking about with my new TR4. It was painted 25 years ago and then stored, and the prep work was bad - the paint is now peeling right down to bare steel. A pressure wash

In the late 1940's - early 1950's, many houses around here were built with knob-and-tube wiring because of the steel shortages from WWII and then the Korean War. I've done some rehabs from that era

Low-tech, but it works for low-volume light aircraft construction and the like -- mark a center line on the tubing. One simple way is to lay it into the miter-gauge slot on a table saw, assuming you

I need to find thinner keyed front axle washers for Jill's Midget. The originals are about .093" or 3/32". If it's not clear what I'm looking for, I mean the washers with a tab on the ID to key into

Sure - when I used to have access to one I could do that easily. And if I need to, I still might, but now I'd have to pay for the service, and I bet I could buy a hundred washers out of a drawer at

Funny - I searched Dorman's site Sunday night and found nothing... Anyway, that tells me that 3/32 is just about as thin as they're usually made. Timken just merrily advises to repplace the original

I'll do this to take off a thousandth or two on a thrust washer, and in fact that's how I turned decent flat washers into relatively true-thickness shims for the bearings, but to take off .040" or s

It's not as if Timken makes these bearings specifically for this application. They're just what's closest. I'm sure they'd be less than thrilled at the sales volume for BMC car conversions. Heck - I'
