Job is done. Finished up the AC about ten last night. Still need to put the right front headlight back. Wiper motor on that side has failed pointing straight up, so I'm going to try to correct that while it is out of the car. Once the headlight is back in place, I'll go for a test drive and c

It takes a very long time to remove the water with a vacuum pump, it's "sticky" and has a fairly low vapor pressure. If you purge with dry gas first you only have to get the stuff that stays a gas a room temp out. The difficulty is that there is no mass movement of molecules in moderate to hig

Gotcha. Makes total sense. I know people who pressurized first with nitrogen because it was an inexpensive and easy way to identify potential leaks as well. How much is a cylinder of nitrogen from your welding place? -D > On Apr 7, 2019, at 10:00 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote:

Re: [MBZ] Receiver / Dryer for '95 E300

Standard beer equpiment comes with a regulator to hold gas pressure on the carbonation keg between zero and 25 psi. Should be easy enough to rig up a connection to allow you to pressurize the system to 25 psi, let it sit for a bit, then vent, or to flow gas into the high side and apply suction

As airplanes go, that is the cheep end of the scale, price wise. Really fun to fly, not fast , just fun. If it has the wing spar update you can do aerobatics with it. Nothing to violent, but loops and rolls etc. If you are good enough pilot.

Re: [MBZ] OT 1964 Citabria airplane

I'd wonder what is wrong with it at that price, or it's the bottom model of the line - too little power to do much more than cruise the neighborhood. The specific model of Citabria matters - I set the 7KCAB as the minimum that I'd want. On Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 11:32 AM G Mann via Mercedes wrote:

I’ve used one of these. They can’t be beat for painting large areas, like walls and ceilings. Once you get a hang for the volume of paint they put down, you can knock out a single wall in a minute or less if everything is masked. When we built our house in Wisconsin I painted the interior with a
