First Monthly SOB Dumbo Award: Nominations Needed

88323ff29b1fe988715409f4760fa48a.jpg


Not quite deep enough for stitches.
 
With only one nomination for the month of May, it is hereby declared that Janschultz is declared the inaugural monthly winner of the SOB DUMBO Award from StangFix for his incident with his soldering iron.

Congratulations or Condolences: your choice!
 
I would like to thank my parents (for the klutz genes), my wife for being my nurse, my son for laughing at me. Thanks for Stangfix where I feel safe to say what I want...

And Midllife for misspelling my name.
 
Congrats and good luck to everyone for June, I think? Is that right?

And remember if you cut off a finger make sure to take pictures before getting it sown back on.....
 
As promised I nominate myself. While removing the OEM steering wheel from my wife's 2000, I neglected to consider the size of the puller tool foot. To wit: when used on a vintage model the steering wheel rod projects through the wheel frame making it impossible to NOT push against the rod. In a 2000 model (and others I assume) the rod is FLUSH with the wheel frame requiring some sort of gap between the puller tool foot and the steering rod. I did not consider this and by the time I figured it out I hade pulled out one of the threaded holes required for wheel removal. Solution: I drill the failed hole all the way through and re-threaded the hole. I got lucky and the wheel came off allowing me to install the NOS replacement wheel.
