Sticky Parts solutions

Post by DeathBus »

Hey Tuna, maybe there is a way we can make a sticky thread dealing with the most common solutions to problems, like...

Master Brake Cylinder solutions

Clutch MAster Solutions

Brake Calipers

etc etc etc., Those of us who have found solutions can deal with each topic and before people start a topic on how to fix one of these problems, it will already be up top.

Just an idea.

It sounds like a good idea to me, but I've barely done jack squat worth of practical work I would give advice on yet. :lol: I'm going to be working on the struts hopefully, I'm hoping maybe I can take them to my welding class and work on them there pretty soon as I don't have the equipment at home yet. I'll try to keep everyone in the loop with that one.

Well after being here for awhile, I just see the same questions answered over and over again, I have even been quilty of this, something that people can quickly reference at the top of the forum would aliviate (sp?) the redundent questions.

Right, the common questions off the top of my head seem to be about struts/steering/lowering, brake master cylinders, brake calipers, clutch master and slave cylinders (just to start off with).

It sounds like a good idea. I'll set up the sticky for it. Remember, as the moderator, I reserve the right to edit the post for grammar, spelling, content, etc. If any of the posts are irrelevant, I reserve the right to delete it.

So hold on!
