So I made one of these out of that filter and it worked perfectly. Didn't even need to cut it down to size! Just snipped the top and gutted it. PH16 was the code for that size filter. I actually bought another for the passenger side so they'd match. Lol.
I had a console thing that came from Walmart that had two cup holders and a place for cassette tapes that I would move from truck to truck. It had a sheet rock screw in the center to keep it from moving around.
I still have one of those I do the same thing with, it's been in 5 or 6 vehicles over the years. I cut slits in mine on the sides to run the middle seat belt through to secure it
As much as I hate to say it... JB Weld the cup and bracket together if you don't have a welding setup nor are able to rivet. Of course, any brand of multi-part adhesive can work just make sure it's meant for metal. Drill a half dozen 1/16" holes through your parts and use something like 90-120 grit sandpaper to scratch the pieces so that the adhesive gets a really good bite. Hope that helps! 👍🏻🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………I was REALLY hoping when you were going to tell the measurement in mm, you would just say “ who cares!” LOL!! You almost did.
I would drill a hole on the side about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way from the bottom toward the top hidden by the clip. Prevents suction and you won't have anything leaking out onto the door panel or onto your leg. Peace & good vibes! ✌🏻🇺🇸🥤 - Max Giganteum
Just be sure to seriously de-oil the inside of that repurposed oil filter housing with something like Acetone or brake cleaner... you'll smell the oil for a good long time if you don't - especially so when it bakes in the sun. 🌞 - Max Giganteum
AHH! I accidentally dislike but quickly fixed it to like it. So I clicked your advertisment to make up for it. Prety cool idea haha. HEY I am socked that you being a Ford guy has an AC Delco floor matt ha
Good job! If your rivets were pop rivets, and they're too long, you can cut them down. You can knock the pin out the back way , then cut down the rivet , then put the pin back in and rock on .. I use a little tubing cutter but you can leave the pin in and cut down just the rivet with some snips or dikes kinda gnawing on the rivet and using the pin as an anvil to the process. Then slide the rivet off so you can get the cut piece off then put the rivet back on the pin .. leaving the pin in while cutting keeps from crushing the rivet...
@@sixtyfiveford we all know you would have thought of it if it really came down to it. I'm just glad i was able to give a little back after all you've given ...
For rivets that protrude a little too far, you can often peen them down close to flush. Note that the material of which the rivet is made can influence peening - soft metals such as aluminum, brass or mild steel are easily peened. However, stainless steel can be a royal PITA to peen. If in doubt, test it out on a single rivet before proceeding. Best wishes! 👍🏻🔨🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
Great idea. Maybe you have an idea to stop my liquid tape & tire patch with the brush inside from drying out . I’ve tried putting car paint thinner in and tape the lid , I’m thinking of getting a kitchen vacuum pump put them in plastic bags & suck the air out . Maybe you can show us something in the future thanks enjoy the show 🇺🇸🔧 Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦🛠👍
Install your items inside a 100% sealable container and fill it with Argon if you have access to it. Argon often helps preserve materials that harden or dry out in normal atmosphere. This trick is useful for primers, paints, sealers & coatings that come in cans - plastic or metal. Most automotive painters are well aware of it... but it doesn't hurt for anyone to try it with anything. Source of Argon? Your welder if you use it as a shielding gas. Best wishes! 👍🏻👨🏻🏭🇺🇸 - Max Giganteum
I've tried a few things. Welding shielding gas (c25), straight argon, exhaling into the can before shutting it, plastic wrap touching the top of it, etc. The only trick that I found that really works is simply turning the can upside down and storing it on its lid. Any miniscule lid gaps are sealed by the liquid.
When I lived in the SW the backyard was dry sand/dirt for years and finally got around to installing a sprinkler system which made it green. Then the wife brought home, against my wishes, a puppy with large paws as she told me it would stay small... It grew fast and was obsessed with the sprinklers to the point of digging to the bottom of the plumbing and chewed off the threaded fittings for the risers and reverted the backyard into dirt, so I named it Dirt Dog. One time an expensive Horizontal Dial Indicator disappeared from my work bench, after turning the shop upside-down I found it outside dripping with slobber and coated with dirt. We moved to the North-woods and first time it got loose it bounded happily across the field and off in to the wood-line amongst a long list of predators. The wife found it three weeks later and got it back from its new reluctant owner. BTW, your first location is better just because it is central in the cabin with the most shade.
I welded a magnet to the bottom of a homemade cup holder and the whole thing is mild steel. I wish i could post it. It sits on the floor of my jeep, on my toolbox or hangs on the door.
I can recall at primary school, getting a proper caning from the headmaster, for not understanding fractions. It must have worked, because, I went on to study Engireering, and didn’t encounter any problems with fractions. Nowadays if this happened, it would become a police matter. Greetings from Ireland.
That is a detail often forgotten: metric vs imperial is not the same issue as decimal vs fractions. Still.... We all know who is right, so no need to even mention it ;)
Rolls Royce wants to speak with you ! Kind of a hobo crafts but hey if it works . . . Guess you could make it out of sewer plastic pipe with pop rivets.
