- | ====== 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)) ||| | ||

+ | 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. \\ | ||

+ | **Primary / Gearcase Cover** \\ | ||
+ | Keeping the bolts in order as you take them off saves time and headache of remembering which length goes where during installation. \\ | ||
+ | Using the template as a habit, you'll never have to worry about where a bolt came from when reassembling anything.

+ | ====== 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. \\ | ||
+ | It simply sits on a table and is made so you can move it from one place to another. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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) ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:techtalk:ref:tools:portable_book_table_pic1_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} {{:techtalk:ref:tools:portable_book_table_pic2_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} {{:techtalk:ref:tools:portable_book_table_pic3_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can hard mount it to a table or your tool box with some creative 2x4 attachments and such. \\ | ||
+ | In that effort, an adapter was installed between the 2 legs to drop down into a stand. \\ | ||
+ | The stand swivels so you can move the book where you need it or where it's most comfortable using it. \\ | ||
+ | The table simply lifts off the stand to be stroed when not in use. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The stand is a 13" tall section of 1-3/4" square aluminum tubing. \\ | ||
+ | It mounts by way of 2 pieces of aluminum angle cut to go inside the bottom opening and screwed to the tubing sides by 2 #10 screws. \\ | ||
+ | A 3/8" hole was drilled in the middle of the 2 angles to mount the stand to the table and allow it to swivel. \\ | ||
+ | A 3/8" hole was drilled into the top of the work table. \\ | ||
+ | The 3/8" bolt runs through the table and the nut has red Loctite on the threads so the stand won't loosen as it is turned. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The book table has a section of 1-1/2" square tubing cut at a 45º angle towards the table. \\ | ||
+ | It is riveted to 2 aluminum angles to hold it to the plate. \\ | ||
+ | All bolts into the plate itself were cut off flush to the front of the plate. \\ | ||
+ | The majority of the 1-1/2" tubing OD had to be sanded to allow it to slip into the 1-3/4" stand tubing. \\ | ||
