Your Great Idea?

Because the gear/stopper would only keep you from rolling backward it would have no effect on forward movement plus it would be just holding a button not having to reach or worry about timing a release

Ah, I gotcha. I think that would be pretty easy to make with a "driveline brake" type setup, just get a gear plate cut to sandwich in the driveshaft (or on the pinion of a Rockwell) and use an air cylinder to engage the spur catch mechanism, you could put a return spring on it to pull the catch out of engagement when the air pressure is not applied.

My great idea, a car company that designs cool vehicles that are EASY to work on! Think about the marketing to the gear head crowd and to the old school crowd that used to "change points in the drive way". None of this software programming, hidden trim clips, pop together plastic bullshit that requires special tools for every fawking thing.

Why not just use an electric line lock and put the switch on the shifter? If you stop on a hill you're going to have the brakes on anyway. And it works both directions.

On Toyotas I convert the parking brake handle to pull the brake pedal down, so you've got a hand brake to use on hills or for a parking brake

Alright If ya don't mind telling me how you do this I'd love to have a brake for hill and a parking brake instead of using trees or big rocks

On the Gremlin I used a tiny cable saddle to hold the loop around the brake pedal.

X2!! I would like to see the rest of your build.

SomewhiteGuy · Sep 26, 2013

If I did the build here it would just be a copy paste of the build there, but what the hell I will start one. Here is the link anyway.

Anybody been thinking?

Back in '95 I bought a new GMC Sonoma X-cab. It had a fixed, solid back glass. I wanted to make the entire window go up & down, maybe even power actuated. Nuts right. I never did but wish I had. I noticed a few years later Toyota started making them.

A motion sensor cat scratcher. Looks like a hand that plugs into the wall socket and scratches your cat when it gets next to it. Think of all the crazy cat ladies watching the infomercial for it. Rich I tell you! Rich! :****:

My great idea was the harbor freight laser for bender degree indicator

BlackYJ · Feb 7, 2014

Rckcrwler you care to show how you mounted that laser and which one it is

Rokcrler · Feb 7, 2014

Re:

Mounts with the magnets on the flat spot or top of die.

I ended up getting one for each die set and just epoxy them...or change out to stronger magnets. I now use the TubeBandit digital readout but they're no longer available.

I had forgot about you doing this.

I had a good idea back in the late 80's early 90's. It was coming up with a way to make your headlights follow the road . Have the lights turn as you move the steering wheel so when you go around a curve your lights your lights would stay on the rode. Now some of the high end vehicles have them. If I wasn't dirt friggin poor and had a higher iq back then my ass would be a wealthy sob right now.
