- | ====== Storing Bolts ====== | ||
- | Some bolts are longer than the others. \\ | ||
- | So you'll need to keep them in order of removal for an easier time of re-installing them. \\ | ||
- | You can use a piece of cardboard or an old pizza box to keep from mixing up the primary cover screws (or cam cover). | ||
- | * Make an outline on the cardboard using the new gasket or even the cover itself and poke the holes for the screws with a punch or Phillips screwdriver. | + | ====== Storing Small Parts ====== |
- | * Keeping the bolts in order as you take them off saves time and headache of remembering which length goes where. | + | These little containers can be found in the school supply section of retail or grocery stores. \\ |
+ | They are stackable (with lids), small enough to pack away until and when needed and the best part is one costs a buck. \\ | ||
+ | | Perfect little boxes for storing bearings, nuts washers and etc. ((photos by Hippysmack)) ||| | ||

+ | ====== Cardboard Parts Holders ====== | ||
+ | Cardboard can be very useful to hold bolts, tools and others. \\ | ||
+ | You can use a piece of cardboard ripped from a mailing box or an old pizza box. \\ | ||
+ | Choose a piece of cardboard that is not too big to safely store out of the way. \\ | ||
+ | Cardboard is especially helpful when you remove screws of different lengths or sizes from the primary or gearcase cover. \\ | ||

+ | ====== Book Table / Holder ====== | ||
+ | If you are working in the heat and have a fan blowing on you, you know how fast the wind turns the pages of your service manual. \\ | ||
+ | Below is a portable book table made from scrap aluminum. This can also be easily made from plywood and 3/4" planks. \\ | ||
+ | The backboard (portion that the service manual sits against) measures 12x19". It's actually 13-3/4" tall due to the 1-3/4" book stop on the bottom. \\ | ||
+ | The back legs are made from some scrap aluminum sheet with an angle end cap. \\ | ||
+ | The page holders are made from 2 clothes hangers cut, bent, twisted and screwed to the book stop with fender washers. \\ | ||
+ | They keep the wind from turning your pages and also keep the pages from turning themselves (new books not worn in yet) \\ | ||
+ | This one is made so you can move it from one place to another. \\ | ||
+ | You can hard mount it to a table or your tool box with some creative 2x4 attachments or such. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\ | ||
