I would like to some pictures in this thread:rolleyes:

I have gone to 5000K color LED bulbs everywhere except the living rooms. It makes a ton of difference with my old eyes. Two neighbors have asked about the front porch light on my rental houses. One says it's too bright and one says they want one just like it.

Yes, use 2, put them on the tube. Use some fluid for lube and slide it in. The 1st one puts the 2nd down in the bore further for a better seal, imho. Maybe not so humble

Put 2 on, double ring that bugger.

$2k is better than the $10k No chance of going to the pre-purchase inspectors insurance?

Like the commercial says...you picked the wrong insurance plan:spin:

Nailed as in killed or literally with a nail gun?

not only yes ... but

Here are some questions that come to mind. How much insurance will $10k (minus deductible) buy? If it isn't used is it really insurance? Why not buy only the coverage that you are willing to use and bank the savings?

$8K and no framing ??? F that. Seems high.

I whole heartily agree, I retired at 58 and looking back could have gone years earlier due to my wife and my efforts in residential rentals. Sure I am continuing to work the rehabs and maintenance but it work that I enjoy and I don't punch a clock!

And the love that your LL has for you is pricless

Yes it will fit under the cover.

If you have the stock TMIC you need this kit, if you can't fix the one you have you will need it for the replacement.

Adding a partition wall, oscillating multi-tool ftw.

I had the same problem with my 2005 GT, I've had brake lines rust thru on Chevy pickups, diaphragms rupture in regulator and fuel pumps on various makes. You have ten year old car that has a gas leak, this isn't any different than the steel fuel line rusting thru or a o-ring seal going bad. Fix it and move on, if you aren't up to the maintenance challenges of an older car get something with a warranty. Leaks happen. You probably won't get much sympathy from this group.

Thanks MTB you saved me a lot of typing.

Your welcome Booze or do you go by Mr. September now? Ha! Got the calendar today, seems to be a quality unit and some nice cars also! The dual o-ring seemed to work for me for a couple years. Can't tell much now that my GT has become a garage queen. But retirement is good:)

Booze I responded in another thread, and before here. I used 2 of the factory o-rings to help space the bottom one down into the bore, I think this helps the sealing. Not sure about the wrx numbers without looking it up.

Got a call from a tenant that his ceiling light quit working. Found the problem in the attic, a failed connection. There was a piece of cloth covered romex spliced to the old knob and tube. It just twisted and taped, no solder. I assume the romex was added when the ceiling was lowered in the 50's or 60's. The wire pointing up in the picture is the knob and tube wire that was installed in the original electrification of the house. The white conductor is out of the cloth covered romex. As a bonus the white conductor was connected to the hot line. Of course the connection was intermittent adding to the fun. When the tenant called the glass had blown off 2 of the 3 bulbs in the fixture.

^^ The mechanic may of said what he did to defend himself for not using the short cut but you could see on his face he was thinking about the process. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries it later.

I don't know what the other piece was. The computers were down, there was not any paperwork generated all day. I ask about the sticky dash inspection after the air bag was done and was told that it was done. I have my doubts about that. The mechanic was 3 knuckles deep into a dash removal when I was talking to him and I choose to end the conversation rather than annoy him further before he started on my car.

I had the inflator replaced in the 05 sedan today, took about 3 hours once they got started. There is a few scars on the drivers side of the plastic piece below the dash pad. The mechanic said that he has to pull the dash because there is a part that has to be added after removing the actual bag. Mine was the second he had done that day, there was 4 more in line.

I had the same symptom it turned out to be the fuel pump housing cracked. It would leak when the tank was full. I replaced it, I think there has been success epoxying it.
