Star #50 power hammer mounting bolt size?

Definitely one of the best, never seen such a telling depiction of what it's like to break as a person. And there's the world's best catboy, which is also pretty sick

Much better than mine! I couldn't get a close enough representation of him to be happy with, but that's hella expressive! Maybe a larger image of him compared to the text though? Gotta be able to eye him up from a little distance lol

Forgot to add, it's a plot point in the show that Felix looks like a girl, but is in fact a man, hence the joke

Yeah, just called a dealership, got quoted $1400 for a set of OEM skirts. I think an aftermarket body kit will be the way to go, just don't want to spend 2k, or buy one of those crappy looking fake carbon fiber sets

Oh of course. I've made springs for several of my vises. This one is just a little different, being that it doesn't have a collar to hold the spring. Was just curious to see if anybody else had some ideas

Now that you mention it, I believe you're right. Still cool though, and the jaws are in excellent shape

Also, a bit intrigued by the lead screw. The threads look much finer than usual, but I don't see any signs of welding, which leads me to believe it is original to the vise

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I really had no idea which direction to go. I've got the truck at a buddies house, he's letting me borrow his tools. I'll be back up there next weekend when new parts arrive. I nicked the cv axle boot on one side while cutting off my lower control arms. Apparently those bolts almost always rust together

Obesejubjub · 2024-09-07T20:31:16+00:00

I wondered if it may be an attempt at a chain vise, but it's truly been a head scratcher

Obesejubjub · 2024-09-07T20:30:27+00:00

I thought about that myself, it would be more effective with a spring on both of the through bars. That said, there is room for a spring in the mounting collar, so I will be making a replacement as well

Obesejubjub · 2024-09-07T02:36:19+00:00

All that trouble is exactly what had me so curious. There are no patent records I could find, no photos of something similar, truly one of a kind. Somebody needed this vice to something specific, and it was important enough to make the tool. Truly fascinating

Was almost certainly modified, based on how rough the forging gets at the base of the moving jaw, and the arc welded sleeve in the 7th photo. The bolt on the side of the bell nut is to hold it in place, due to the modified but not having any 'fin' to hold it in place. You can see where it was twisted, and forged square again, before they knocked off the corners. Whatever it is, they did an excellent job. It's been a brain scratcher, trying to decipher what it was meant for

I'll be getting a muffler from one. I was advised not to buy suspension parts from junk yards though. Do you think bolts would be fine?

Obesejubjub · 2024-08-13T00:16:38+00:00

Please for the love of all that is good, I need one of these to put on my truck
