why not use a $5 hack saw

Re: i need someone with a cutter?
^^^ May work depending on location. If you get real desperate, just drill a bunch of holes. Been a whild since I cut a front end apart but am pretty sure you can do most needed areas with a $10 tin snip. I am assuming you may be cutting for short route piping. Grinder also works well. Shouldn't need to do a ton of cutting.

dremel? i used that to cut the sheet metal in my trunk to get rid of my spare tire well...otherwise i could get an angle grinder, but i'd have to drive to far.

Re: i need someone with a cutter?
I have a 3 1/5" wheel cutter. Currently has one new disc for metal on there. If you're willing to provide a couple new discs, I can currently come help you out next weekend. Or you can give me $5, so I can buy new discs for future use. :P
I may probably pick up a metal grinder by that time too. I'm trying to get a whole new set of tools for home so I don't have to keep bringing them from work. Sometimes I forget to bring them to work and it kills my labor time at work. Call me up! |
Re: i need someone with a cutter?
Sawzall. It's the only way to cut for that piping. If you want to pick up a metal cutting blade I could help out. Most of mine are toast.

Re: i need someone with a cutter?
i have an air cutoff tool but compressor is too small... and my sawzall is a pice of shit right now... i was hopin for oxyace or somethin, plasma? i might just have to go the longroute then....
and its a lot more cutting then yall think? |
Re: i need someone with a cutter?
all i used when i did my front mount was a sawzall, maybe used to for less than 2 minutes to get what i needed done on the car

Re: i need someone with a cutter?
I have probably cut apart 5 cars or so for FMIC kits and none probably took longer than 20 mins. There isn't a whole lot going on up there and a plasma cutter is quite expensive for us at home mechanics.
Have you taken it apart yet? There isn't a whole lot up there. You can route the piping right around the radiator with a little cutting or route it through the stock hole (probably have to cut it bigger). |

Re: i need someone with a cutter?
i got a plasma cutter, works wonders and takes about 5 min to cut it professionally!
