I better watch that to determine if/when they make mistakes.😁 Ben 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retirednow Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I am familiar with this car. A forum member had it for sale on here and on eBay about 8 years ago. I think it sold for about 11 K. All solid floors Edited February 4, 2020 by retirednow (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I noticed in the one video around 1.34 they were using an flameless inductive type heater called a Mini Ducter on a nut. Never saw one. Anyone ever use one of these? Wondering how effective they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I've seen them used on the TV shows on the Motor Trend channel with no mention of the brand name so to those guys it's just another tool. Amazon sells them and 89% of their reviewers gave it 4 or 5 stars. On Amazon, it's a little over $330. There are a few videos on YouTube.

Alan G Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The inductive heaters are fantastic. Heats up just where you want to and normally come with some adaptors so a nut can be heater along a long lenght item by wrapping it around it and plugging the ends into the heater!

Ben It did seem odd that they didn't want to use the press because it had to be aligned perfectly, but they can smack em with a sledge hammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one machine shop I can cross off my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
