Your air compressor should be fine if you take quick short bursts. maybe 1 wheel at a time and wait for the compressor to catch up. Don’t even bother with 1/4″ lines for impact tools. Use at least 3/8″ and if possible 3/8″ fittings/couplers.
Keep your line pressure to 100psi and use 25′ straight hoses if you can help. The coiled hoses don’t help.

I would allow them to bring their own parts but specify that they need to be of a certain quality. Ask them to show you the parts in hand before you commit to them.
If you have customers who regularly bring you quality replacement parts, I wouldn’t turn them away. On the other hand, if you know some cheap guys, either tell them to cough up for good parts or you will supply the parts. There is no to ways around it. Either you;re making money on the rack or you are loosing time. Time=money.

I would look at aftermarket wiring harness. Scoche and Metra are 2 big names that come to my mind. For a few dollars, you can buy the harness, solder the like wires on your bench and then just plug it to the stock wire connectors when you want to install. Makes install a snap. That’s how I did mine.
I would not twist wires and use tape. Electrical tape looses stickiness over time and they will unravel. Besides, it’s not easy to tape 8-10 wires in a harness with limited spaces. The least I will use is crimp on butt connectors.

Highly doubt there is an orientation issue here. Exhaust gas flows over a catalytic surface and it doesn’t matter which direction air flow is. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Even with a new cat, it can be positioned easily. common catalyst poisons include fuel sulfur, manganese (originating primarily from the gasoline additive MMT), and silicone, which can enter the exhaust stream if the engine has a leak that allows coolant into the combustion chamber.

Eric et. al.,
I noticed that Scott just cleaned up the rim with the roloc disc.
What’s your opinion of shops that paint a dark rubbery like substance on the inside of the rim before the bead is seated? Does it actually help seal any rim leaks?Newbie
