    That's the weird thing. I didn't trip over the cord. It just fell. It wasn't near the edge.

    I think I have ghosts.

    Nicely done and probably better and stronger than new. Sorry it happened, though. Don't feel too bad...i have several embarrasing stories myself over the years. And this wasn't even your fault.

    Does the 5 min epoxy really hold the nut on well?

    No. Epoxy failed. The carriage bolt through (pics above) works 100% perfect.

    But,

    Thanks Nick.

    AGO Delivers !!!!!

    Check out my Rupes swag.



    The carbon piece comes with the shroud& screw



    Got a new rubber, too



    Tomorrow I'm buying a new construction house. I'm going to sign the builders contract with the Rupe's pen.

    Same here on the single car garage. Yes it's cramped & it sucks with 3 cars. Never the less, I'm happy to have what I have. It's better than parking a show car outside. The other one sits in a storage unit.
