Never throw stuff out
I remember throwing out a white nylon shaft with a smaller point think on the end some years back no knowing what it went to. I'm trying to reassembly the shocks as part of the rebuild and I instantly remember what it was for
Next time put all of the tools with the spare parts so I don't forget ...

Part number 6429.
While not $1 anymore, they are still out there.
The edge tip is for disassembly.

Re: Never throw stuff out
I'm going to try to print one tomorrow. If that doesn't pan out I will look at ordering one.

Re: Never throw stuff out
I've thrown many parts out that are much nicer than what people are currently asking a mint for on ebay.
I'm sure many of us are in the same boat

I’ll just add.. no matter how long you keep something.. if you throw it out, 2 weeks later you will need it! Never throw anything out!!

Re: Never throw stuff out
When I rolled into my last job, there was legacy "junk" in every nook and crannie. At first I thought "imma ckean this place up!" Then I thought, "maybe the old-timers brfore me knew something I don't" I MacGuyvered a ton of stuff with all that junk! It drove me crazy working around it and reorganizing it umpteen times and I got rid of some obviously obsolete stuff but in the end, the junk won. I couldn't toss anything either . If you've got the space....yeah, never throw stuff out. I sure as hell kept Chuck Mawhinney's "TRANS/FILL" dipstick. It was still in the carboard mailing tube with the shipping label.BattleTrak wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 1:40 am I’ll just add.. no matter how long you keep something.. if you throw it out, 2 weeks later you will need it!

Re: Never throw stuff out
While I have given away plenty of good stuff to my family and friends (received as well), I rarely throw anything away.
I don't really sell stuff either. If I do, its because I bought something cheap with the intention of selling it.

Re: Never throw stuff out
Hahaha, so true! Legacy "junk" is going to be my new excuse for everything laying around my place.

To be fair, I also have a MOUNTAIN of associated shock tools and plastic wrenches
Old school racing all the way!
