Designed by Ammo Mike for his collator build
5/5

The bullet collator will be used with it. If it works as good as it has for everyone who pointed me to it directly, then it will work for me, too. I have a 9mm and a A 300-page book. Thank you to Ammo Mike as well for your outstanding contributions to the reloading community. May Odin shower his blessings upon you, you are a fine gentleman!.

This rock guard protects your copper nickel brake lines and makes them look great
5/5

This rock guard fits perfectly for my needs as I just redid my brake lines with newer copper nickel systems and wanted to keep the factory style rock guard. When the stainless dominates the appearance, even with the copper looking lines, runs with thia rock guard look factory, even when using the newer copper nickel lines, it's a good way to disguise that you're If you want the material to run from end to end, you will need to compress it during installation. There is not much compression with this spring unless you have a long run of about 24 inches or longer. Flaring at the second end is possible if you have a longer run than 24 inches. There are some who may be asking why this is only available in stainless steel, rather than A cost vs a sales vs a functionality deficiency seems to be the cause. A cheaper steel might last longer, but it will not last nearly as long as a steel made from regular steel. It is possible that copper nickel cannot be used as a rock guard. It makes the most sense to use stainless steel.

This proves to be animal proof! The mechanic saw my gas line was cut under my truck and said that someone had done it! In the truck at home, I jacked it up and found additional droppings and a hole in the line
5/5

I cut it apart and threaded smurf tubing in between the connectors and barbed the connections to hold them This did not work since two weeks later another section was removed. It must be hard to resist the urge for mice to be addicted to gas.

I s) to have house bunnies, and they chew through power cables like licorice. I put this on the 4th lamp cable and now they sit there, discussing how to get through, frustrated because they can't work the cutting torch. In spite of the fact that it is designed to stop brake lines from breaking, this actually works effectively! As a PS, the bunnies have now unplugged the lamp from the wall while the mouse is in rehab.

Nickel - Protecting it The copper brake line I used was better than the nickel-plated line This brake line is made of copper to keep it protected
5/5

Even after I inserted a 180° bend like the original line had at the front wheel, where the rubber hose attaches to the caliper, I was able to slide the line to where I wanted it.

There was a description for the listing, which is nice
5/5

The steel lines were supposed to fit my vehicle so I don't know why they were on my vehicle. I also didn't know why they were on my vehicle. The coil shaped protectors already came with my vehicle, so I wasn't sure that I There was a description for the listing, which is nice. The term "Gravel Guard" means "gravel guard". In my application, I am placing the cover over powder coated lines, and not stainless steel lines, which will offer the best protection, since powder coat is not resistant to gravel pitting.

Nicopp is one of the best tools for running around the cylinder head and frame rails
5/5

In 1998, I bought this along with a set of Nipp brake lines to replace the brake lines on my Additionally, it acts as a strong connection between the frame rail and the Nicopp line in the frame rail, underneath the engine, and behind the engine, thus preventing the line from kinking. It also acts as protection in the tire wells. Even though it was more expensive, the additional benefits were worth it.

Next time we need to repair this, we will purchase it again
5/5

There is no easy way to find this spring on the market, the seller is an excellent company & the spring is in excellent condition Having it for sale makes me happy. In the coming weeks, we'll purchase more parts for the next repair. Do not forget to place it ON the line before the tube is flared.
