Years back when I got my Stag, the PO installed an oil pressure gauge. They had removed the oil pressure sensor. I went to a junkyard and got a tee from an MGB. (item no. 1 from left in photo) I then

It is good that the cable broke - otherwise the loader might have followed the truck down the hill. Peter

But the Brazilian method is so much more entertaining! Byron

Thanks, Ken, Yes but, the Brazilians took out a Policia car before the Scania went into the vineyard. I also noticed the cable somehow came

The next time I flip an 18 wheeler I’ll be sure to do it in Germany.

I will choose Germany

Flipping an 18 wheelers upright. Two interesting and different techniques, first from Germany, second from Brazil. Two video. Start with the German. Take your pick!

David, it meets the 25 year rule, so it can come into The US, (maybe not Hawaii) but the car would need CARB certification from the one and only smog certifier in the state. They tailpipe clean, but

These seem to have been sold on BaT for prices from around $8K to $22K. I didn't look into the completed auctions to see the conditions of the cars at the different selling

If you watch the vids on YouTube you will see 3d scanning is poor at best. Cad drawing is the way to do it right. Have to print it in ABS or other material for outdoor use, not PLA. I thought that

Drawings aren't likely needed in your case. A scan cloud gives nothing that can be used directly by a CAD package. Typically I use it to verify my native features, turning it on to validate then

No whittling of parts was on my agenda, but I see a cad drawing is yet another step in the process, not sure if a 3D scan gets you raw data that can be drawn on by the cad program to get the speedo

There’s no right answer that will fit everyone, but pipe, etc can be fine, assuming it will be invisible, hold up, and not prevent you from making a more proper repair at a later date. It all

3D scanning provides a point cloud. It is difficult to print properly from a point cloud. Having rented some very nice 3D laser scanners, and generated over 6Tb of data in an industrial setting, in

I feel doing something right us not be cheap, but affordable in the long run, if a restoration is desired rather then wire and duct tape repairs, not saying pipe could work, but not on a complicated

Long time lurker here. Another option is pvc or abs plastic pipe and glue. Cheap and quick. Plastic paint for color.

So I would like to 3D scan a speedometer housing that’s plastic (but decaying as I write), then with that 3D scan file I would like to have new housings printed, and any machine screw holes being

Hi Ken, I always liked Dawn French's humor in the Vicar of Dibley. Thanks, Lou

I was in my early teens when I first heard this joke…perhaps you have heard it as well.
