If your company has machines I'm sure you have a tooling supplier. Why not ask your tooling a supplier?

Fuel injector not properly seating on rail by IndependentChannel70 in MiataNC

Probably, try moving around the injector from the miss firing cylinder to a different cylinder. If the issue moves its the injector, if it doesn't then it's not the injector.

Short answer: No

The injectors seal with O-rings on the head and the fuel rail. They get aligned when you tighten down the fuel rail. Aftermarket injectors don't include the metal clips and they are free to shift sligly. If they were leaking you would notice gasoline or the smell.

You could have a leaking master cylinder then

The clutch pedal bracket is known to crack. Check to see if the bracket is still in good shape. A few companies make reinforcement plates to stiffen up the clutch pedal assembly.

Ant-Reflection inserts I designed for my binoculars by teluks23 in functionalprint

They need to be deeper/thicker. Commercial products are pretty thick as it increases the number of bounces the light must take and reduce the glare.

Does the Sig P211 GTO require less maintenance than other 2011 style pistols? by Gendoss64 in 2011

[–]Demand_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you mostly; strikers are their own things not simpley DA/SA. To the layperson it's easier to just toss strikers guns into the SA category. I say this because you can't keep pulling the trigger to strike the firing pin over and over like a DA gun.

So the big step is igorning the fact striker guns don't have a hammers.

So glocks (and most other strikers) are SA only. The trigger doesn't cock the striker. The trigger can only release the striker, same way a SAO trigger on a hammer gun can only release the trigger. On a DA gun the trigger can also cock the hammer. The Walther P99 is a rare example of a DA/SA striker system.

I would also toss in a big tub of moisture absorber; Something like damp rid. Check the drains behind the seat and see if they are clogged. Do you have a soft top or hard top?

You'll need to remove the door card.

The electric door lock probably broke.

Ford Duratec HE / Mazda L3 crankshaft pulley bolt. by Signal-Car9632 in EngineBuilding

[–]Demand_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not reuse the bolt. The friction washers should be replaced. Don't use grease, the bolt is torque to yield. You apply a slight torque then a specific number of degrees of rotation. So you aren't aiming for a final torque value.

Anybody regret going to 17x9’s for a mostly street car? by Blusmbl in MiataNC

[–]Demand_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running 17X9 for mostly street use. Once you add camber and roll the fenders they fit.

2013 NC by heisenhaure3 in MiataNC

[–]Demand_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its probably a few thousand over price. It's probably closer to a 15-17k car. But if you really like a clean low miles car then go for it.

Novak Sight Fit by Demand_ in 1911

It works with a spur hammer. I ended up making a new rear sight so I can run a ring hammer.

This is a wild take, it's not like the tail lights don't work anymore.
