You could have just squirted Rotella on the blinkers - probably would have fixed them.
What did you do in your garage today..?
- Thread starter Hack
- Start date
Is that like a cush drive in a rear hub? What kind of mileage has it seen?
Hey WB, a little off topic but........
How do you like the floor tiles, what made you choose to go with them, and most importantly:
if you were to drop 5825 itsy bitsy pieces a year, does it make them easier or harder to find?
Asking for a friend.
No way man, gotta use seafoam...I use that shi$ on everything, I buy it by the case.. no need for tools now
They are better than bare concrete by a long shot. They clean up with soapy water and a ship vac. I chose the RaceDeck because the concrete floor was in rough shape and would have been very expensive to repair. Yes, little bits are hard to find.

My left heated glove stopped working in December last year. I figured it might be a short somewhere.
A few weeks ago, I decided to trace the wiring, and after almost opening the glove in half, I noticed one of the wires had come loose right at the base of the electronics board. (I later found out others have had the same issue, so it seems to be fairly common with Macna heated gear; just a heads up.)
I have zero soldering experience, and the space between the connection points is really tight, so I wanted to improve my chances of fixing it properly. I was ready to pay an electronics shop, but while searching online I came across a non-profit initiative that helps repair broken appliances, toys, clothes, etc.
They had an event near me, and a really nice guy volunteered to solder the cable. The repair worked, and I was pretty happy. Now I just need to sew up a small hole from the soldering iron (tight space, I accepted the risk
) and reassemble everything I took apart.
Unfortunately… today the heating in my right glove stopped working. FML.
Would anyone be able to lend me a soldering iron or help me re-solder the other glove? Happy to pay in cash, beers, or food

Got a link to this organization? I have the exact same problem with my old heated vest.
Is it Repair Cafe? I might actually want to volunteer. Can't stand seeing repairable items get thrown away.
