BDI Law
« on: January 06, 2011, 12:37:41 PM »
I want a new law past. There shall be no more then three different size bolts used to hold any engine together, small, medium and large. Also no one part can be held on by more then one size or style of bolt. I have been working on a dodge 2.7l engine, car manufacturers suck ass.

Also use only Metric or Standard, DO NOT use both on the same vehicle, bike, whatever!

Also they should standerdise three speical tools and everyone has to design thier parts around those tools. no more makeing s**t and then making tools so it can be worked on. we could go with three different sizes of each speical tool. I also agree with the metric and standard thing but I think we should do away with standard altogether. I bet UFO's have all metric fastners on them.

Thats funny. You know this is the reason why we have vehicles that are half metric and half SAE. They past a law years ago that said the united states was supposed to make the switch over to metric by a certain year. Well do to the fact there are so many old guys that can't let go of the the SAE standard we are still struggling with the out dated idea. Maddoggy The old Guy thing was a dig just incase you didn't notice. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The only time I have any use for the inch is when measuring stuff down in the thousands.

You know at one time I thought it would be funny to make a hammer that was also a crescent wrench as a joke. It would probably sell like crazy.

i have no problem doing away with SAE. just sucks i have been working so hard on my standard metric conversion.maybe we could just get rid of the ones that don't cross over on both sides. you know 14mm-9/16 then you go 15mm what for we could just skip that one and so on. :-D

i had a crescent wrench once that was also a hammer on the backside. it was factory made. we passed it around to different guys' toolboxes as a running joke for years. i can't remember the brand. i guess thats my alzhiemers kickin in huh. :lol: :-D
