Sure did! This was a fun one too! I as well learned that lesson! Grab every part, piece, and dodad within 20' of the machine or whatever you are getting! With this one everything I got was just in the bed of the cart. Nothing else around it. The motor mount sucked but at least I was able to get one! It was $100 however. 😞

Good example of a bargain being more expensive than a quality supplier. I feel your pain about getting bad or wrong parts. Seem like all the overseas manufactures are racing to the bottom on quality. I return them for refund, so they lose any kind of profit. Counterfeits are being bigger pain also.

Absolutely! Reviews were kind of all over the place on these types of heads when I was reading. After seeing these I wouldn't do it again for sure. However it was a bit fun going threw them and making them better. But, to get these and put them on a good motor and eventually ruin an entire motor because of them would make me a sad panda. Some parts are ok to cheap on, most parts aren't though. At least if you plan to keep and actually drive the vehicle. Haha

This was a wonderfully shot and edited video. Your production experience is showing. Making a power feed for the bead roller would be a challenge . But, making an indexing lever so that you could position the handle at the best angle for good leverage should be relatively easy. Use an extra ratchet wrench as the basis for the fabrication.

Even with the bead roller you get warping or twisting of the metal; hence the bow in rhe panel, your best bet is to pre stretch the path of the beads on an english wheel, or get the biggest bead male die and the flat part of any other die and roll it through a few times, even the rubber bottom die would work, also a tipping die makes good breaks if you don't have a metal brake but great work overall it looks great

POR 15 works just fine if used properly. You have to actually clean the rust off first, desalinate the frame, and then you use POR 15 and THEN paint it or whatever. You can't just use POR 15 only and go along your merry way, no one would ever do that and expect different results. Its meant as a prep to neutralize rust before painting or something else. Literally everyone knows that, even the rustproof/removal place I took my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to told me the same. My daily Driven 2008 Jeep Wrangler, and I live in upstate NY, was done 5 years ago, POR 15, first, then painted the frame and it still is solid as a rock.

Looking and hearing about the rust and road conditions perhaps you need to add some annodes and change them out every season. Dont mess around use Magnesium. 5 or 6 blocks evenly spaced along each rail should get you protection for 90 days over brine. basically the snow season, replace at the end after a decent wash and maybe a traditional oil treatment or a paint. The only thing that will protect it if bare metal is there is an anode.
