I have two widgets and a thingababob. Can I convert these with a skyhook (and I have a manual)to attach to my whatyoumacallit? The manual is not specific on this. :rolleyes:

It's obvious to me that you are novice, are you TRYING to blow yourself up????????<br /><br />Use a left handed screwdriver to convert the thingamebob, not a skyhook. Fool.<br /><br />Aldo

Re: Widgets

its possible with the wonder adapter but will require the use of a metric monkey wrench.

Re: Widgets

To complete the process you'll need the following:<br /><br />1. A bag of fresh grinder sparks<br />2. A bucket of steam.<br /><br />and to make it pretty and to match your complexion get some Tartan Paint from Walmart ;) <br /><br />ps: I have no idea why you are trying to construct a MK3 conbobulator (1908 model, Pat Pending). My dear friend, Sir Algernon Pickrat-Sykes, DFC and Bar, KO, KFC, MD constructed one of these in 1914 to see off the dreaded Hun but he could never get the correct alignment of number three shaft spricket to connect number twelve valve synder with the nasal probe. Perhaps you will have more luck :confused:

If you are converting widgets do not forget to check the polarity of the solar influxer module! Reversed influxer modules are common to whatyoumacallit and premature failures!<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Bob :D

What kind of oil are going going to run in that thing? ...Don't forget to solder your connections and then shrink tube... Crimping alone isn't good enough. :D

Need a pair of adjustable Metric Crescent wrenches for this job..been there. And then you will need to Seafoam the crap out of it, and do an oil change with a quality Walmart syndino on sale...

I was beeing a smart A*Z one time, (No kidding) :p , and walked onto the Snap-on truck and ask for one of those. Guess what, he handed me one. Go figure.

laughing vapour??? :eek: No way: you need nitrous oxide gas :D <br /><br />Check the gap as well: it needs to be 12 and one 16ths or the spark sprocks will collide with the WD40 and we all know what happens then............

I think youll find that the whole project will come to a griding halt unless you duck out and buy a decent sized bag of electrons. Whilst your there getting them ask the man for a long weight, a horizontal piece of timber and a wig wong for a gooses bridle. If he happens to ask why then tell him Y's a crooked letter and it cant be straightend.
