Loose Nuts

[sjessen]

As recommended, every so often I go around and check for loose nuts and bolts on my '30 coupe. The last time I found several including two loose bumper brackets. Just a good maintenance reminder for us.

P.S. Did you ever notice that the trouble light always seems to be shining in your eyes instead of where you want it? Do you have a favorite pet peeve when working on your car?

I have seen a lot of loose nuts behind the steering wheels.

That is why they are called "trouble" Lights.

I have that problem, but, they're kinda hard to get to. Most are between my ears.

I agree about the trouble light and prefer the small reflector lamp with the spring clamp, such as was used many times for studio lamps to take pictures. I like the ones with the small reflector and spring loaded clamp.

I have grown fond of the small battery operated LED lights available now. They pinpoint the light where you need it and not in your eyes. I picked up one the other day for 8 dollars, it uses 2 AA batteries, has a powerful magnet on two ends and on the clip. It will rotate and stay where I point it. It has 8 of the brightest LED's on it I have ever seen. And it will never burn the side of my head!

I always use locktite when assembling parts, I still use the lockwashers but just for looks.
