What's on your Work Bench?

Been working on grab bars, wheels, and console pads the last couple weeks. Got low on slate blue and nutmeg so I painted some and are getting them covered. I use one sewing machine without thread only to punch holes in the leather covers for wheels and grab bars. The first group of pads I made were in black vinyl, so this group is going to be mostly in leather colors. It's a little easier to work upstairs in my slightly heated upholstery shop (45 degrees) than to work on the Scramblers downstairs with no heat. The nice thing about the wheels and grab bars is I can take them in the house (70 degrees) when it is time to do the hand stitching. Always good to keep busy.

Picked up more casting for end caps from the foundry two days ago. Drilling and tapping them today. This morning someone on here asked if I still had them. Yes, still making them.

Been playing around with auto tilt housing. I have a bunch of columns with smashed housing. Figured I give it a try. Haven't been tested yet so I'm sure there need to be fine tuned.

What about the little caps that cover the seatbelt rollbar mounting bolt? Saw someone looking for one the other day, and realized I'm missing one. The OEM are pricey for what they are.

Ill try them. I have to find one now.
 
T176, seen better days, surprisingly easy to take in bits, not sure if someone hasn't been in here before as the bearings have no markings on them whatsoever.
Anyone know the thread size of the drain plug on these so i can buy a magnetic one? Or a link to one thanks!
