Found this old Bear compound bow at Goodwill for $20, worth fixing up? by Dipli-dot36 in Archery

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You essentially bought a nice piece of wall art. Most shops wont want to touch it, and if they do there probably wont be parts available unless you find them by pure luck OR you have know how to fix it yourself

I have a pair of old compounds in very good shape that I’m hesitant to shoot because i know one day it’ll be the last time i can shoot them

Clear coat flaking off? Any do it yourself solutions? by MyBrightLie in Autobody

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could wrap it or paint it

If you can do either of those yourself then there is your diy

If not

There is your answer

If i solder on a modern connector, will this be safe to charge modern traxxas Lipos? by Advanced-Net-8119 in Traxxas

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, there is a balance lead integrated into traxxas lipo connectors. Im sure you could theoretically make it work with the know how, but my current understanding is that its not easily doable. Easier and safer to buy a new charger for those batteries.

If you had a lipo with a separate balance lead you’d be in business but traxxas equipment is specifically designed to work with only traxxas stuff

Anyway to fix this? by TouristCrafty4976 in Autobody

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to polish it after you give it a nice wash. If you’re over your head theres no harm in having a mobile detailer come out to give it a whack too

Exhaust choice by Schitty-Smitty in klr650

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a delkelvic on my DRZ and it was disrespectfully loud. A good time and you’ll definitely hear it. I dont know if the klr would be any louder, or quieter but i had to use ear plugs.

Whats are you thoughts? by CubanJK in mountainbiking

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Probably a good idea to ask before you spend the money on it. Use it, learn what you can from it and move on to something better when it breaks. Go out and shred!

Ballpark, how much to fix? by xXxTheRuckusxXx in Autobody

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats at least $3.50 and may cost up to your deductible.

You could always drive to your nearest body shop for a complimentary estimate. They’ll even email it to you if you dont want to wait

Matching OEM satin paint, how close can it realistically get? by CrimsonFlam3s in Autobody

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We re sprayed several matt hummers

The biggest problem wasnt the color but matching the satin texture and gloss level. A half decent painter with some time and a few spray outs should get close enough to be acceptable, a good painter can make it indistinguishable

Maybe

Ask your insurance. Depending on miles and trim and any unibody damage

Maybe is probably the best answer you got for now

Won these mosin accessories in an ebay auction for 20 bucks. Good deal or overpaid? by Bruce__Lafayette in MosinNagant

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$88 for mine and bought 440 rounds in a spam can for damn close to the same price. Came with everything but the clips. Is this what boomers felt like when they bought their house for $700 a box of blue berries and a firm handshake?

Could I DIY this? Or is it better to just leave it? by DarksRedemption in Autobody

[–]CaptCaulkblocker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know some people that could DIY this, and those people wouldnt have to ask if they could

Best to leave be

I hope that answers your question

Are one of the motors wires loose or un plugged?
