Grease Gun Hose Brake Line

Replace the bottom end of your aluminum brake line with a grease gun hose and fittings.  Eliminates fatigue cracking due to the line flexing.

Bucking Bar for tight quarters

I found this old railroad nail. It was easy to modify to buck in tight areas (I only had to sand it!). This has been helpful for example in the inboard and outboard ribs in the trailing edges of the control surfaces.

Note the notch for opening beer bottles when you're finished working for the evening!

I ground down the vise-grip dimpling tool for it to fit in tight quarters. The job at task was the rear baffles on my RV-8 fuel tank. If you do this, be careful not to grind away any of the 'female' dimple itself.

A simple thing, but a life saver in many areas.
