Ordered some stuff from Summitt racing yesterday, here when I got home today. Bunch of small stuff.

I thought this cool. A short adjustable with wide jaws, I can find a cheater if needed!!!

Then, something to help me with compound cuts on tubing. This may be old to y'all, I thought is cool as sliced bread.

Say I want to add a tube here. A compound cut with two odd angles.

Slide this piece over the tubing, push all the pins until they contact the tubes.

Remove, slide up the tube, or thansfer to the actual tube to cut.

Notcher preferred. Real odd cut, probably the portaband, or even sawzall.

Yeah I figured a notcher wouldn't be best because thats an odd cut.
So whats the tube going on?
 
Oh, yeah, I got that feeling too yesterday. Ordered a pile from Speedway on Mondayday. Had it last night.

Helmet's, Firesuit, and a ton of small stuff. Brake kit spare(nylon lines and fittings) some odd tabs, window net latch kits (need to modify heavily).

And most of the parts to put together a pedal car for my kid out of this.

I tried using those pipemasters on mine during the new cage and backhalf, didn't work as well as I had hoped. You might have better luck with them though.
 
I have one of those pipemaster things... Ive used it about twice laughing


I really need a portaband and I also need a plasma cutter, and a 8" grinder and ...............

I fuggin love tools pepper.gif

Have you used the nylon lines before? Was looking at them myself when i have to redo the brake lines on my rustbucket project.
 
You better be scared of Tejas. We're coming to get ya in Bama! :flipoff1:

Yeah the nylon lines. I have them currently on my buggy. They seem to work awesome. I just didn't have any spare's parts, just in case. And even then you dont need any special tools to use them.
