Re: Auto rack

I have had trouble finding 1 1/2" cars for my auto rack. Most of what you can find in that scale are something bizarre that you would never see on an
auto rack. I have a PT cruiser, a Camaro and a Corvette, all radio control and too new for the auto rack.

Re: Air in oil line oil heater

Sounds like an air leak in the fuel supply line. That's the first place I would look. The second place that I have had happen, is the shaft seal on the pump, but usually, this will spray extra oil into the burner. In this case, I just replaced the pump with a new one.

Re: SB chucks rotary table and misc.

I for one, will NOT buy anything off of the social media sites. If you can't advertise in decent places, like here, then I don't need your product.

Re: A question about engineering drawings....

Re: race

I have been an engineer on one as well. Amazing how fast they pick up speed going down even a small incline! And no brakes!
