Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

in a more tech related topic... i know fixed lowers and adjustable uppers are the preferred norm for short arm suspension. i happen to have a set of adj UCA and LCAs... how does me setting the length, then welding the threads of the joint in place sound? is it worth it? should i just leave them adjustable?

I'd leave them adjustable.
The only reason in my mind to run fixed lower short arms was not to damage the threads when the lowers hit something.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have adjustable uppers and lowers. Before the 44, they were threaded out, now my lowers are threaded all the way in at this point.

Reminds me, I do have a pair of RE lowers that need the joints rebuild, then I should clean them up and sell them.

that's also what i was thinking. ok, so if i'm gonna leave them adjustable, how tight should the jam nuts be? super-hella tight?

that's also what i was leaning towards... welding was a thought though. ok, so if i'm gonna leave them adjustable, how tight should the jam nuts be? super-hella tight?


...now that i have a welder everything becomes so much more simple.

I see how you have 2000 posts now... quote me twice.

No idea on any torque numbers, but tight enough were they don't come loose, but not too tight as they strip. Jam 'em down with a decent size wrench and you'll be all set. Clear? :eye:

Sweet indeed. Do they have any more? I could always use a second (ok, third) one. Pick one up for me and I'll make it worth your while. Seriously.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I am in need of a new tool box. I have to fight with half my drawers to forfeit the tools

 

[foxwar71]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

bill, if i find anymore ill let u know. it was sittin in the clearence area with no price on it and a couple small scratchs on the back of it. there was a clearence tag with $129.99 written on it on the ground next to it. ask a saleman if i could get the box for that price and he said sure. they didnt think it had the casters or keys with it either, found them in a drawer afterwards

ball bearing drawers or nothin. makes all the difference in the world

I can't complain, my old man made a living out of this tool box for many years. You can certainly see it has been used by a full time mechanic. I think it's time to retire it.
