Workhorse refurb complete!

[Shawn (EIP)]

Look for a specific fastener store. Usually under "fasteners" in the yeller... er google.

Just checked the regi bolts are M12 , Fastener doesnt go past M10. Still unsure of the rod ends (micros) , starting to think those are custom made for WH. I'm almost thinking about going metal on those and see if there's really any difference.

Next time go American. USA! USA! USA!

Workhorse is USA , they need to go USA lol . Metric is so much more expensive than standard.

Way off topic, but think of how much money we would save on tools if America went to metric.

Nothing...because there is too much old equipment out there that would need standard to still service it.  It would take a couple decades to actually see a cost savings.

At least a couple decades, but in the long run it would be the best thing.

When I was a bicycle mechanic, I grew so accustomed to metric sizing that anytime I had to switch to standard it just seemed goofy.

Yeah, I also have whitworth wrenches.  Even though the car is 50 years old, they are still made, and available.  At this point, who cares?  We'd be better off not minting pennies and instead mint dollar coins...instead of paper.

This is definitely one place that I REALLY LOVE the metric system. I do wish we would convert everything it is so hard to convert lbs, miles, a person's height and other daily things.  But when it comes to tools... oh how I love metric.  Maybe because I've always had foreign vehicles.

My Workhorse fellows....  Just scored 2 bags of 25 for 1.75 (per bag of 25) . Way more than I need but if you need a few see me lol. Or order a bag yourself. After shipping it came to .20 ea.

Looks like I'm stuck with WH on the regi rod ends though...

it sounds you like your WH features registration, pitch control, etc.
it helps clearing some the smoke out of my head
what if WH comes with air lock would it be a major improvement for setting screen quiker?
just wondering

Airlocks on a manual seems to me like an overkill and not needed in the least.

Not until you've used it. Chameleon + airlocks + tri loc = 8 seconds to register each color. Breakdown is almost instantaneous.

[mk162]

agreed.  once you've used airlocks, you never go back.

Anyone ever had such a hardtime ordering parts from WH?

N/M got it sorted out but 65.00 for 5 little plastic rod ends after shipping HOLY CRAP!

[Evo]

Not counting time at the light table (less than a minute per color), this is how long it takes to register each color on the press:

Lock...

Anyone ever had such a hardtime ordering parts from WH? Ordered parts last Thursday never got my order confirmation, checked the bank the charge was never made then called on Friday they knew nothing about any order being placed. Called today to cancle that order, still cant find the order from thursday or friday... ok so I gave them a new order for just the rod ends. Still no confirmation email. WOW!!! If I call back tomorrow and have to go through this again, I'm gonna say screw it and rig something up from home depot.

I've never placed an order with them but they were helpful on the phone with questions. Sounds like they were having a holiday weekend. All week.
