For your basic open-cell foam, go to Army/Navy Surplus. In the back they've got mattress-size sheets of it, a few inches thick.

But right, for what you're looking for ... that's not gonna cut it. Go for some real acoustic foam.

I think I'll be going with dense acoustical foam - anyone know of a Denver area vendor that sells it? I can't find anyone.

Hello,

I am looking to borrow or buy the tools required to do the doohickey fix on a KLR.

I live in the Colorado Springs but will be driving up to Fort Collins on Monday so anywhere in between, would work for pickup. I am heading to my parents house in Ridgway Co (where the bike is located) next Friday then coming back mid January. So if you don't mind not having the tool I can drop it back by then, or if you need it I will mail it back to you.

PM works or my phone number is 970-318-0079.
Thank you,
George

I have the doohickey tools that you can borrow. I'm in Lakewood - just a few miles from 470.

Send me pm to arrange a pickup time on Monday- I'll be home all day.

I've got a ton of Mass Loaded Vinyl left over from sound insulating my RV. Don't know if that would help but the price is right!

Hmmm........how thick is it? Does it have an adhesive backing?

I need a set of Vesrah VD-160 brake pads.

These: http://catalog.vesrah.co.jp/catalog/shape/VD-160.html

Should be really easy to find, right? NOT. Can't seem to find a reseller who can even get them. Does anyone have a good Vesrah dealer around here? Performance can't get them. Dealers can't help. I can't seem to cross reference the pads to EBC or other brake manufacturers.

I'd sure appreciate any help.

Looking for some hand reamers to borrow for a day or two...

I am needing to enlarge an existing hole (.375") just a touch to as much as .3860" - it's 6061-T6 aluminum bar. I am not trusting the accuracy of my drill press for such a small difference (its a drill press - not a mill), so I want go at it by hand.

I am looking for the following sizes in a straight fluke and handle

Letter size V (reams to .3770)
9.75mm (reams to .3839)
Letter size W (reams to .3860)

I have about 12 holes to do. I am not sure how long this will take, but possible I can just do it at your place and not worth borrowing to mine.

Thanks!

John

A bit off topic but still 'I need'...

I haven't been skiing for a bunch of years now and recently scored some nice boots and a chance to go to Monarch. So where is the best lift ticket deal? Safeway has them for $51.
TIA

Edit; Whoops! I just noticed I should have posted in 'most wanted'.

Ever try and buy a trailer dolly at the cheap stores in this town.

Guess I get to go to the actual trailer store tomorrow and spend the big bucks.

If you're set on doing it cheap, I've got some scrap steel, a welder, and an old set of bicycle tires for you.
