Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / November 2003J-B Weld
hehe.. I just used J-B Weld (and J-B Kwik (weld)) to fix 3 bathtub knobs (hot, cold, shower). I was just curious if anybody has ever used J-B Weld on any automotive application. -Mike > hehe..

Well the J-B Weld has diff. uses on the package.. including automotive. Just never heard of anyone's personal experience. Cool! -Mike > > hehe..

It took about 3 hours to get to where I didn't have to use something to hold it in place... isn't too bad. JB-Kwik took about 5 minutes.. but still... I wonder if it's possible to use J-B Weld (not J-B Kwik) to weld in subframe connectors? -Mike > I found the original JB weld seems to work better than JB Quick, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > this > > > was on a 351W <memset@recorddeal.com> wrote in message > I wonder if it's possible to use J-B Weld (not J-B Kwik) to weld in subframe > connectors? I wouldn't trust it. I'd just weld'em in. Play it safe. Better than losing a connector at 80MPH on the interstate. Who knows what kinda damage that would do. EESH- too painfull to think about.

But you can use a combination of Duct tape and Elmers glue. Patrick '93 Cobra '83 LTD can you use the stuff for rust repair? riiiiiiiiiiight lolol ;D > > Yes... it's much stronger & they show the stats on their official site.. > > nearly 2x stronger & it's 200 degrees F more heat resistant (500F (J-B Weld) [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > '93 Cobra > '83 LTD When the flange around the oil drain plug on my push mower cracked, I used JB weld to put it back together. I cleaned everything well with lacqour thinner first, and glued the plug in. It's held together for over two years now.

Less mess and trouble then removing the drain plug and trying to get something under it. With a little practice you can be done in a jiffy. >> Ahh.. cool.

I just used J-B Weld (and J-B Kwik (weld)) to fix 3 bathtub knobs > (hot, cold, shower). I was just curious if anybody has ever used J-B Weld on > any automotive application. I JB-Welded a split seam in the radiator on my '67 where the upper radiator hose snout meets the radiator. Held fine for 2 years even in 100*+ summer weather in traffic and was still holding strong when I sold the car a month ago. I also used it on the plastic part of the choke linkage on the Autolite 2100 on my '68. One of the ends broke off. Just a dab of JB-Weld and it was fixed. I know I've used it for a few other things on the car, but I can't think of them at the moment. I know one thing it *won't* work for is securing the rearview mirror to the windshield. That's the only thing it won't do as far as I know. Cory Damn... cool ;D. Lots of automotive applications.. glad to finally hear of some... but doesn't J-B have some sort of rearview mirror adhesive stuff? -Mike > > hehe..

Yup, used it to put my mesh grill in place as well as refix my antenna that some ^#$#^#& twisted off, breaking the thread...Works just fine. Just didn't feel like messing with replacing it.

Does anyone know if JB-Weld is conductive? I was just thinking about overclocking my 1.533 GHz Palomino... My MSI KT266 board doesn't like to take a high FSB so that leaves me with overclocking by multiplier... The only way to do that with an AMD CPU these days is to connect the L1 bridges... Unfortunately since the Palomino there is a little 'ravine' that I must fill in with something before using conductive ink (or something similar) to connect the bridges. I was thinking JB-Weld may do the trick nicely if applied with a pin or toothpick. I just need to be sure it's not conductive as if you fill the gap with something conductive you'll short out the CPU and it won't work. Cory >> hehe..

I was just curious if anybody has ever [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Use a pencil. the graphite in there makes it work. they also sell kits to do > it. its just like a little overlay you put on it. Doesn't work on the Palominos. I have used the pencil trick on T-Birds and Durons which have the raised gold contacts and no valley, but even after filling the valley on a Palomino the contacts are 'set in' to the CPU and farther apart. The graphite has too much resistance to make a good connection unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though. I got my 800 MHz T-Bird up to 1.2 GHz and some change with the Pencil trick, and Alpha PAL6045 and a YS-Tech fan. That and a good amount of voltage. :) Cory Best thing to use is rear window defroster repair kit. It's the stuff you use to connect the defroster lines on the glass. Got my XP1500+ o/c to XP2000+ speed. Ok, now this thread is starting to go off topic...let me put it back on-topic... I was unable to convince my mom to buy a mustang. She looked at coupes, convertibles, and GT's. None of the dealers had any in a color she liked. While driving around the Capital Auto Mall here in Olympia, she saw a Chebby Tracker and asked me to stop. Long story short: She bought a Tracker with a 2.5L DOHC V6, 4WD, Automatic. Comes with AM/FM/CD, power windows and locks. The way she looks at it is now we have a vehicle for winter and one for summer. SignatureGreg B. Happy to be an owner of an '01 Mustang Vert.

I was thinking conductive pen as I work part time at Radio Shack, so I'm gonna see if they got anything there I can use my discount on. If not I'll try the defroster repair kit. I've got an Alpha PAL8045 and Delta 80mm 68 CFM fan on the CPU so I've got high hopes. I'm currently running the Delta at 5 volts (whisper quiet, my RAID array is louder) but I'll bump it to 7 or 12 if need be to keep things cool.

My boss has a Tracker and one of my coworkers has a Suzuki something-or-other that's the same thing as a tracker. They go off-roading on those things a lot apparently. I've been cracking joked as my boss's tracker all the time because I just can't picture that thing 'conquering the rugged outdoors' or the like. I was telling him I took my '67 Galaxie off-road before and it took it just fine. Not on boulders or nothin' but it was some pretty rough stuff. I got stuck once but my two buddies got out and rocked the car as I rocked it with the engine and we got it un-stuck pretty quick. He says he's gonna take me out in it to show me and shut me up. I'm bringing my camera so when he gets stuck I'll have pictures. :) Cory LOL too funny... when he gets stuck you'll have pictures I mean. -Mike > > I was unable to convince my mom to buy a mustang.

You'll put an eye out that way. Anyway, I just mixed up a dollop of J-B Weld, stuck a couple of wires into the unset glop, and measured the resistance. My DVM reads greater than 20M resistance across a .25^2 patch of the stuff. I'm waiting until it sets to take a final reading. So far, it looks like a decent insulator at low voltage. However, for the use you're proposing, I'd probably use if conventional expoxy. Dana >> Does anyone know if JB-Weld is conductive? I was just thinking about >> overclocking my 1.533 GHz Palomino... [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > across a .25^2 patch of the stuff. I'm waiting until > it sets to take a final reading. Now it's set. Even when I probe the glop of expoxy very close together, I see much higher than 20M resistance. It's an insulator, though I do not know what the breakdown voltage is. I suspect it's high enough for anything you'd need on a motherboard. But... > So far, it looks like a decent insulator at low voltage. > However, for the use you're proposing, I'd probably use > if conventional expoxy. Dana I used it for a hairline crack on a pressure washer (only 1500psi, but it wasn't even near the nozzle).. alas, she blew apart even before there was pressure (just pulled the cord to starter up).. I'llnever use it again :) > hehe.. I just used J-B Weld (and J-B Kwik (weld)) to fix 3 bathtub knobs > (hot, cold, shower).

Those in the know will know it had the "Chrysler Lean Burn System" wich included a POC "computer" mounted on the air breather. They went bad. All of them. Yeah you could buy one from a junk yard that had not gone bad for about $200; yet. But it would go out, only a matter of time. So with removing all of this crap there were um, left over things. Things no one knew what to do with, one of which was a steel pipe running from a fitting on the left exhaust manifold to the intake. When I was preparing the car to sell, that pipe had rotted away leaving an exhaust leak. I used JB Weld to fill in the fitting after finding a bolt that fit snugly down inside the fitting.

That stuff kicks a.s. I used it to fill the EGR slot on the carb mounting surface on a factory 5.0 intake (1985) that I bought and installed on my old '82 GT. However, when I swapped it onto my '68 cougar 302 with puny restrictive single exhaust (more backpressure), The stuff blew out. I remedied that with a performerRPM and now the '85 intake sits in my kitchen. I've used it other times successfully, but I can't recall the circumstances.
