If you need a riv-nut tool and inserts I can send mine to borrow. When you mix steel/aluminum that sort of thing is quite common.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks! I wasn't quite sure how we were going to set them without buying something I'd probably never use again.If you need a riv-nut tool and inserts I can send mine to borrow. When you mix steel/aluminum that sort of thing is quite common.
Hey, but it looks really good. That's nice.My biggest issue is the spots they missed that should have been gotten and the time it took them to get it done. Also the price came in 30% higher than he quoted. I got a lot of excuses about having to pull wheels and covering non-blast areas, etc and then sick employees for the delay. A lot of CYA for not meeting expectations. Like I said, I doubt I'll get anything this large blasted again so water under the Goat at this point.
Thanks but m38inmaine has me covered at this point. Besides, you want to trust me with a tool when I can't even take care of a phone?I can send you my Mil Spec Rivet nut tool, along with your other parts. I have a box of 5/16-18 nuts if you can use them.
Still won't turn on after 2 days so I'm going to call it "toast" for now. Of course it had to happen on Easter Weekend so no one was open to try and get it resolved yesterday. Local AT&T store doesn't open until 10 this morning so I'll try and get started on the Goat before having to stop and handle the phone. I have a funeral tomorrow and get fitted for a shock collar for my leg (nerve stimulater to help with walking) on Wed so the 11 days to get this thing in shape is slipping away pretty quick.Rice is a WIMPY desiccant. Even if you bake it dry at 250 F for a day. I'll bring over my can of 3 Angstrom pore molecular sieves for the ultimate dry.
Silica gel requires a 225 F oven for a few hours to recharge. Molecular sieves require a 460 F oven for 6 hours to recharge. Quite a bit more powerful.

online, a place called sorbent systems. Quite handy to have on hand.Never heard of these, Keith_J:
- Where do you pick up this kind of item?
I am sorry to hear about the death, mkcoen; and also the shock collar sounds pretty radical, but I sure hope it helps you a lot with your walking.Still won't turn on after 2 days so I'm going to call it "toast" for now.

The funeral is for a friend's mom. She was 93 so had a pretty good run. Her husband is a WWII B26 pilot. He's still going strong but will be tough on him as they just celebrated their 76th anniversary.I am sorry to hear about the death, mkcoen; and also the shock collar sounds pretty radical, but I sure hope it helps you a lot with your walking.
Sometimes it seems like it's all going to H*** in a pot. Some days are just a real drag, I hear you. But a better day is coming, you'll see. That's what I'm wishing for you.Just got back from AT&T. Apparently they've gone away from the "free upgrade" with a contract extension and now it's a flat monthly fee when you get a new phone (in my case $27). They also said that backing my phone up to my computer wasn't sufficient. If I didn't back up to their Cloud then all of my contacts were gone. The day just gets better and better.
