Alright boys what do you do with the top of your upper chest boxes?

In a discussion with a buddy about what is usually stored in the top bit of a tall box. I've always stored whatever junk doesn't go anywhere else. What do you pros do?

My sockets are too tall, the lid won't close.

No I'm not blind to the irony of the Buy American sign next to my Chyna toolbox.

Cheers!

What thrust bearings?

This is a ford 302, runs pretty nice for the miles. I'm changing my water pump out and I notices almost 1/4 inch of end play on the crank. I've looked in the bellowing and I can see the clutch moving as well, so it's not just a loose pulley. I'm surprised this thing is running at all.

C/S unit not equipped with autostart

Red wire is main fuse panel power from batteries. Unit does not have any sort of auto start or idle management. Cab and dash woke up when power was connected. Note key on floorboard.

Most of the fuses were shorted to the main power input and had constant power.

Driveway rocker cover gasket job on my mate's W201 190E

Actually really clean. 1992, 90k miles. Gasket seemed to be original and was like old dry leather, some blind goon had tried to seal it up with clear bathroom silicone 🤢

C/S Vibration, grinding on and off regardless of speed and turns, other shop “repaired the shocks”

This came off a 02 Mercury Sable, parts under 6 months old. The previous mechanics didn’t torque the link properly, or nut/joint failed? I fixed it quick and didn’t take a pic of it on the vehicle as I had another job going. The nut was gone, but there was some gouging in the spindle itself from something known but it looked recent. Odd job.
