    Hey Ryan I didnt know where to write this but I hope you see it.
    A fair few times youve plugged D3O stuff, and being a newbie I bought a spine protector last november and put it in my first jacket, didnt think much of it but it beats foam right?
    4 days ago I had my first crash, 60 km/hr on a 2011 FZ6R, someone pulled out, I evaded, and had nowhere to go except into another vehicles rear. I was catapulted a few meters, I blacked out and woke up sailing through the air and landed spine and left scapula first on the ground, after that its all black until im in the ambulance. I landed directly on that D30 and all I got was a slight lung puncture, a broken rib, and a chip on my sternum. Doctors said its a miracle I bloody survived at all. I just got home today and boy it hurts to exist but I can walk, feed myself and pee. I checked out the armor and its in perfect condition with imprints of the crash. It only cost me 30 bucks and I can still walk because of it. You saved my life Ryan. Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart

    Just a quick note: If you are going to make you own gaskets with sheet stock, get yourself an inexpensive set of hole punches as well. They will make fabricating your own gaskets much easier. Also, I bought a JIS screwdriver set a few months back, and could not believe how much better they are when working on my bikes.

    • @EForchetto
      @EForchetto Před 7 měsíci +3

      Agree. A source of JIS screwdrivers is abandoned old Japanese bike toolkits. Surprising how many are lurking in people's garages. Lots of people kept the kits when selling their bikes.
      An old trick to make gaskets is to place the material on the surface to be gasketed and hold firmly, possibly use one bolt hole. Then go around with a small hammer and tap around the entire shape tapping at the edges of the piece. The casting has sharp edges and "cuts" the gasket for you.

    Yes, gasket sheets are a lifesaver as well as pocketsaver. As an auto mechanic, I'd use gorilla snot to glue the gasket to the removable side, then spread old style (long chain) wheel bearing grease on the other side. It allowed me to remove it safely if necessary, even 4 years down the road when a new water pump had to go on. That saved hours of scraping time.
    Pin wrenches? $44, not. Ebay $9.65USD with free shipping.
    Yes, helicoils are a lifesaving tech, too.
    Pickup tool? Worth its weight in platinum. I have telescoping and spring mounted, but not a formable one. Nice!
    T-wrench? Cool. I have a welder and many spare 1/4" extensions.
    Impact driver, but no JIS in my box. BUT my 1/4" hex drive Makita impactor is a wunnerful tool, too. (Care in assembly is needed, lest one becomes a helicoil addict.)
    Yup, I'd say it's time for an auto parts run. Danke much for the great vid, monsieur.

      As he mentioned many gasket materials are made from cellulose, ie cardboard for instance.

    Great list! my two cents: Plus 1 for Helicoils! For shop use Speed Handle (versus T handle) also adds engagement pressure and rotational leverage to remove stuck fasteners, screw buster (fastener removal). Pickup tools are great and add mechanical fingers for the non-ferrous wandering parts. Add small flexible mirror to hunt missing parts or inspect less than visible areas. Dump screw drivers for a few (long, short, ratcheting) drivers and 1/4 3/8 drive socket adapters that use "apex" (a brand name but many impact rated variations) tips - this always keeps a perfect tip without replacing the entire tool or damaging fastener with worn tool. Plus storing a million assorted fastener tips, sockets, etc far more versatile, compact to store and affordable than separate screw, nut, etc drivers.

      Some thingsd you should know about them. They do not torque well, meaning the higher the torque the higher chance of failure. You can't use loctite with them. Rapid temperatures cause them to become loose or fail. They either fit an aplication, but more often than not aren't the right size and if you need them to not be at the bottom of whatever you're screwing in good luck. A slightly more expensive option and also questionable as well are timesets. A timeset is basically a cylinder insert but for your bolts.

      You should always try tapping the original thread before resorting to an insert. And a handy trick can be switching a stuffed metric fastener to the next size up in Imperial. I don't recommend it but if your POS let's you down at the side of the road, it's an option.

    You can also get solid insert sleeves for fixing messed up holes. I rebuild transmissions and of course the material is steel, so theres that, but we simply drill the hole out a little bigger, thread it clean it out, use some retaining compound, thread onto the spec bolt or screw and drive it into the hole then take the screw back out and finish the assembly. Forgot to say we also countersink the hole because the insert is lipped at the top. So that needs to sit flush. Of course this can only be done to certain parts, we are an oem licensed rebuilder so certain things can or cant be done depending on certain standards.
    Thanks for mentioning helicoil, i had a case come through my station the other day and one of the holes had this in it. I had never seen it before, and again we are an oem rebuilder so thats not spec and it came out, and by the way they really dont like comming out. But in went a sleeve and it was fixed right up.
    As it happens i have a steel and aluminum personal project that i just had welded as a temp fix and if that fails before i can replace the part i will be using helicoil if i can find it.

      I prefer Robertson since I can utilize my impact driver while removing things without worrying about my bit snapping off (Torx) or stripping the bolt out (Philips & Allen). Sure you can break anything with too much force, however in my experience of building horse trailers and box trailers, the Robertson bit was the only one that did not fail under heavy "abuse", by impact and powered drivers.

      @@giuliobuccini208 ... Peter Robertson was a Canadian inventor and tool salesman (among other things) who didn't like the slotted screw heads, since they slipped far too easy. He developed a manufacturing technique using cold forming to produce a "square" shaped screw head, that would not slip, which allowed for a strong driving force. SO essentially a Robertson bit/drive is the "proper" name for a square-socket drive... Similar to calling a Philips drive a "slotted" drive. Or a Torx drive is equal to a 6 point star drive... Most people reference the original inventor of a drive/slot style vs the description of that slot/drive.
