Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Reviews of the product elsewhere on the web has not been good long term. YMMV!

Doesn't someone make a glue with a 5 minute set time, and 10 minutes to full cure, for those of us that are in a huge hurry? Lol.

Yea, I guess not.

By the way, after over 3 years, who said I was in a hurry?

How about that stuff they advertise on TV that you set with a UV light ? Shows them attaching bricks to a wall and then people walking on them like steps after a few seconds set time. Here's an example from Amazon.... UV Glue

You should buy a kit and do your analysis and report back to us as a public service to your faithful followers:)

I want to say thank you for your suggestion to have a look at this uv glue. So far, it has been holding up well with the plastic "ear" that I put back into place.

I have never had a lot of success trying to glue plastics, but this seems to be working well.

I may have to order a larger "refill" and play with this on some other things.

So - Thank You.

Glad it worked.... I'll have to get some. I've tried super glue,JB Weld,etc. This looks like a good option. Appreciate your experiment and teh good results.

The interesting item was pulling on the manet sideways, instead of straight down.

Not the same results, and it was not a surprise. It did surprise me a little bit at the weight that it took to move it sideways.







It started to move at 15.54 lbs. It moved a little, then stopped, then moved again. Max pressure was a touch over 18 lbs.

So, mounting the magnet on a wall will not have the same holding power as mounting them on the bottom of the ceiling.

I continued to add pressure until the magnet began to lose it's grip on the saw table.

This pic is just a split second before it started to let go, and this was the max amount of pressure it endured.







88.62 lbs was pretty good in my opinion, although, it did not reach the advertised 100 lbs.

I am not sure how their test differed from mine, but it does hold a lot of weight, if this magnet were stuck on a ceiling, and the pressure is straight down.

Here is my test setup. The magnet is stuck to my table saw, lumber on the one side, and a bottle jack on the other to apply pressure.

As you know, I have considered adding a piece of light weight steel to the back kitchen walls, next to the bath area.

So, I figured it was time to check on some magnets, just to see how hey perform. Best way is just to test them.







These also came from Amazon, and are advertised as a 100 pound pull magnet. View Here.

They are roughly 1.25" in diameter.

I also ordered some Kreg screws on Amazon. 1.5" are not easy to come by locally in any kind of quantity, and I found them with the blue coat, in case I want to use some of them outside.

Purchased a pack of 1200 screws. Do you think I need to count them to make sure they are all there? Lol. :)







Those amounted to $48.69, so our new grand total stands at $11,142.10.

As I said earlier, it's time to update the spreadsheet. I purchased 3 sheets of maple plywood, 1/2" x 4 x 8, and also 3 sheets of maple plywood 1/4" x 4 x 8.

Both of those were purchased at Lowes and total cost of those were $235.48.

Our prior total was $10,857.93. Now we stand at $11,093.41 after the plywood is added in.

As you know, those will be used in the construction of the drawers for under the passenger counter.

Update tomorrow. Spring fever took over this weekend. Lol.
