BIG-SERT M14x1.25x16.8mm INSERT QTY 2# 51407 Review:


I'm so glad I came across these! When the spark plug in Cylinder 1 of my wife's 2004 Mini Cooper S blew out, I tried to use a regular rethread kit, but it only worked for approximately 3 days before blowing out once more. She had the JCW version, so the options were to spend $2,000 on a new head or purchase these using the Big Sert Rethread kit. It has already been a few months, and it still seems to be going strong! I hope it endures! However, I would advise obtaining a little auto vacuum and some tiny, transparent plastic tubes to suction out the metal shavings. Be meticulous! In order to try and blast away any remaining shavings, you should also keep the spark plug out and only briefly bump the ignition. Repeat the vacuuming. To ensure that the thread lock is completely cured, give it a full 24 hours to cure.



JKS JKS6200 Control Arm Correction Bracket Review:


superior durability quality Even though my Wrangler only has a two-inch raise and 33-inch tyres, it still has a tendency to wander on the interstate especially while braking hard while potholes rattle my teeth. Had I remembered to chock the front tyres, the installation would have been quick and easy. The axle has to be pulled back into place using a come along. Having saying that, the steering and suspension feel are back to how they were at the factory. was very confident and in control while driving during a recent blizzard at motorway speeds. Such an inexpensive alternative to adjustable control arms that is also straightforward.



Allstar Performance ALL25947 Sure Seal Spacer Review:


Since I switched to a Fitech fuel injection system (which works flawlessly), I had to raise my drop-down air cleaner since I needed a spacer. I took a closer look at the plastic ones and recalled that the heat would make the one I had with my old system (the Holly Sniper) brittle. After all, it is perched atop the engine. Warmth rises. and ABS plastic is typically used to make them. nice for a car's interior but bad for the engine bay.I didn't want to keep buying the cheap plastic variety; I wanted something that would last. I finally found it here!I was aware that it was made of aluminum, but I had no idea that the interior had been chamfered to properly fit the ait cleaner. If you look closely, you can see that there is more going on than merely elevating the air cleaner. You have to press it down to mate with the surface because it actually fits ONTO the air cleaner. To put it another way You can flip the bottom of the air cleaner over when you press this on (with your hands, not a mechanical press), and it won't come off. Consequently, the air cleaner is linked to the bottom of it when I need to remove it. Just make certain the bottom is completely spherical. To get mine right in a few places, I had to beat it like a spoilt child. Once I did (hey, don't judge me, people). It was never removed.Overall, it functions as intended and as depicted, so if you buy this air cleaner spacer, you won't need to buy another one. rely on me. I like it when they say, "Unless you lose it, then that's on you." they purchased one after hearing about it from other vehicle guys. None to report. I've had it for a while.



Dorman 722-005 Rear Bracket Kit for Ford Review:


appears to be of equal quality to the standard unit. Since the bracket is riveted on from the manufacture, removing the previous one from the vehicle (1995 F-250) took some time. After the previous one was taken out, however, installing this with the bolts was fairly simple. Although it would be a little more difficult, I suppose you could replace this bracket with the bed still on. I had the bed off for another purpose, which is why I saw the old, rusted bracket (although the bed comes off with six bolts so its not that hard to take off).



Hopkins 48595 4 Wire Flat Mounting Bracket Review:


This product is for you if you are putting a T connection style wiring harness (with a standard 4 pin flat connector) on your car and would prefer not to have your wires hang loose in the breeze.I was perplexed by the previous review's reference to the connector's round/square shape and nearly decided against buying this product as a result. You can be confident that this will work for you if you live in the US and have a typical flat 4-pin connector. Two self-tappers are included, and they easily screw into your receiver. One side's base is rounded so that it can be installed on a tubular receiver; the other's base is flat. If this is a fresh installation, I would advise pre-drilling the holes (using the self tapping screws provided) before placing the receiver on your vehicle. If you are drilling into a tube, form a divot with a punch to help the screw stay in place.The dust cap is not included, but it (was for me) came with my wire harness for T-connectors from the same supplier. Even the retainer band for the cap is accommodated by a notch in the bracket.fantastic stuff



Ford, BOLT, -W710261-S437 Review:


excellent hardware replacement Perfect replacement for the corroded OEM hardware. Even threadlock adhesive is included!



Hopkins 48615 7 RV Blade and 6 Pole Round Mounting Bracket Review:


Only two bolts, lock washers, washers, and nuts are included with this bracket. Although I was prepared to have to drill holes to make it work, I got lucky and the bracket on my U-Haul receiver perfectly fits the holes on this bracket.I specifically chose this bracket so I wouldn't have to remove the harness in order to get the 7-Way through because it includes a bottom aperture for that purpose. The opening on the bottom was wide enough for me to fit the wires through. Work wiser rather than harder.No matter which way I rotated the 7 Way, I was only able to get one hole on the bracket to match. When I reread the description and saw that it is intended for side installation, I reasoned that perhaps the holes might line up if I turned the 7-way around. That wasn't the case, though.I chose to drill one hole into the plastic of my 7-Way and use a washer and locking washer on it because I didn't want to weaken the metal bracket. So it will always be nice and firm when I plug it in.This bracket does not come with a 4 pin mounting bracket, unlike other brackets I have seen, however it is not a problem because I don't even have that one connected. I figure that if I ever need 4 pins, I will spend $10 on an adaptor to change a 7 way connector to 4 pins, and I'll be good to go. There are no more brackets to mount.



2" Front Rear Full Lift Kit Rise Mount Brackets for ATV Polaris RZR 800 EFI Models Review:


With Amazon's generous return policy and the $200 savings over the kit that was guaranteed to suit my 2011 RZR 800 Walker Evans shocks edition, I chose to take a chance on this kit. With the shorter plates in the front and the taller ones in the back, it bolted up perfectly. To allow them to rest directly against the welds, the bottoms are inclined. All of the hardware is rated 5.I drove it around the block after everything was installed before measuring the lift. I'd read that a full 2" elevation in the rear causes the CV joints to bind and the boots to press together and they were correct; both the front and rear were just a 16th shy of 2" with the same spring preload as previously. Front looked good. We'll see if they wear out too soon, but so far there has been no clicking, so seems good. I decreased the rear spring preload until I had just under 1.5" of lift in the rear, which gave a softer ride and the CV joints and boots looked ok.At normal easy riding there's no problem, but once you start climbing in rocks etc. and the articulation starts getting a little more extreme the Walker Evans shock springs will contact the wheels, screeching like crazy. I wanted a little more width anyway (lost 1/2" with the lift) so I added 1" wheel spacers on all four for $90 and took it out and everything is good. I'm headed to Moab so I took both sway bars off, and that's where the
