Rob Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I thought NOS meant "not on sale".Given the pricing a lot of folks think parts are worth, that is a logical assumption derived through deductive reasoning.Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I even bought one of those non-fog mirrors with the water running through them to hang in there so I can see what I am doing.It saves a lot of grief, but I have to buy twice as much drano.

Purchasing this product in a pre packaged product such as "Drano" ups the price of the chemical just about 1000 times and I'm not kidding.Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

leversole Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I used Sodium Hydorxide once to blacken some Harley tools that I developed...did it in the house, bought a 25 lb bucket...used only a small amount...If I remember correctly, the ol lady bitched about THAT too!

Sometimes you just can't win. I used to clean carburators, and spray guns on the kitchen table and rinse in the sink. That usually set "Momma" off but I'd give her a half gallon of "Rocky Road" ice cream, and her own "Bunt" cake, and she'd settle right down. You need to come up with some type of knack to help you along. Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

leversole Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I guess the intention is let you know that the part is NEW, as in never used or installed, but not current production...adds a lot of value if you are restoring anything, as it would be the same part used when whatever you are working on was built...it differentiates between an original part and a modern reproduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
