Well you are at least in a group of two. Think I went through this with my now departed 2013 Explorer. Use it on a VFD or something. Or return it, their mistake. Then again, spent an hour on the phone with Dyson yesterday, same deal. My hour was worth a lot more than the $22 USD. Should have know . . .No filter in the truck verified .I did find some old Cabin Fever pins though in the glove box .
I forgot about that source. Thanks for the reminder!
My ‘12 Ram didn’t come with one either the space was marked on the plenum but never cut out at the factory! I bought an aftermarket kit (filter and cover) and had to hot knife the hole!No filter in the truck verified .
That sounds right. That vintage of the F-150's didn't have on, unless you had high end option packages.I ordered a cabin filter for the f-250 only to find out they don't have one from what I've read .Can anyone verify this ? It's a 2003 .
No shame on my end. I haven’t welded in years.
Sounds like CDO to me....I made...myself have an epiphany...
For the past couple of weeks, I've been mithering about my workshop layout, how I'm going to fit everything in, how I'm going to afford to get a fabricator to make me a decent workbench to put the mill on now that my £25 deal for a steel workbench has fallen through, how I'm going to get the engine hoist holding the mill to the bench I can't afford to get made, how the heating engineer will get to the boiler to do servicing and repairs once the bench that I can't afford to get made is in, where I'm going to fit the storage that is currently in the place that the bench that I can't afford to get made will be...
It's been exhausting me every damn time I go into the shop, distracting me from what I should be doing (finding the right size shims for the central shear plate that I've made and installed on the saddle of my little 7x14 and reassembling it so I can then finish boring the new brass caps for the legs of the g-plan coffee table I sanded and rewaxed)
I think it's been the double whammy of all that bloody plastic and the mill turning up and sitting on it's pallet with nowhere for it to sit. It's like when you eat too much and get gut ache.
Anyway, today I sat at this:

and realised that I was sitting at the solution.
Frankly I've been subconsciously feeling something was off in the layout and now I've realised that the workbench sat in the middle was a big part of the issue. I use the blue workbench you can see in the background far more (the small bench drill on it, is long gone) and I've never liked the closeness of the grinders (on the other side of the separator) to the lathe and where I wanted the mill to go (behind me sat where I was). Okay, the grinders are just over 6' from the lathe/mill position so it's not fatal but still.
I realised that the workbench I was sat at, stripped of the separator, the tool rack, the electrics, the bandsaw and the grinders (so just a plain bench), and moved backwards to the wall, would be perfect for the mill to go on.
All the pieces suddenly clicked into place: where the bandsaw would go, where the grinders would go (a few extra feet further away from the 'clean' machines), how much more easy it would be getting engine hoist with the mill from the pallet on the front of the garage, to the rear, how much less 'corridor-like' the workshop would be.
And all of this can be done now (well, as soon as my brother-in-law drops off the engine hoist, probably next week) without further expense. No pissing around on Facebook marketplace or eBay trying to find a solid workbench at a sensible price, or paying more than I can afford getting one made and no renting a van to get it back and no tedious UK motorway driving to wherever it is.
For someone like me, with my ADHD (even medicated) having a shop that makes sense and where there's order, is vital. Having a solution at hand feels like the craziness receding!
