About five years ago The engine grill was powder coated. It must not have been a good job because when I removed it to paint the engine lid I discovered rust spots inside. After sanding down and repainting the grill I added the gold letters. Ace hardware had a rubber bushing the same ID. but a hair smaller OD. I added a thin coat of black adhesive pushed it on with a small socket, and it worked. The hardest part was in converting the mm spacing into inches. Who would own a metric ruler over 12" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) long anyway.

You can pick up a meter stick at Harbor Freight. It has both the metric and inch markings.
But, why would anyone want to use inches when the metric measurements are so much easier to use? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I say this everyday when I'm designing in CAD. I have the option to use inches in my design program, but who the hell wants to think about all those fractions. It's just dumb. Small increments of 10 makes my job easier! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And what are you gonna do when you need to move something 0.35mm? Try figuring out that fraction in standard measure! |
