Yep, those work all right. These were from a storage room at my parents' place a few months ago.

Collar locks - Pacific Fasteners, Acklands Grainger, Fastenal, might even luck out at Princess Auto
-make sure you have the shaft size on hand (heh heh) when calling/ordering.

Exhaust gasket - Lordco, Mopac, most exhaust shops, etc.

If you want just a standard gasket, go to Lordco, and ask for Vibrant 1458. It's just a standard 3" exhaust gasket with bolt holes that will fit, so not guaranteed to fix your leak if your flanges are bent. If you want to be sure to solve your problem, ask for Remflex part number 8007. Pretty sure they stock that in the warehouse. Torque the bolts to 20ft lbs when you put it back together.

Some info on Remflex:

40 minutes from the Vancouver Airport?

How close is it to the Abbotsford Airport?


Just buggin' ya. It's from their website.

For the rest of us who don't know where the airport is, the place is located between Planet Ice and Reliable Parts in Coquitlam. For guys like me........ it's a five minute drive from the Hard Rock Casino. LOL.

Princess Auto, they have the best prices on these, and similar connectors. Those these are even worse than T-tap connectors (which Princess Auto has as well). Way better than Lordco, Can Tire, etc.

Before using a wire tap/T-tap, you're probably better off just using a butt connector with 2 wires on 1 end.

^ you are better off doing that, butt connectors can be good in the right places if crimped properly. That said I'll admit to using those clamp connectors on rare occasions when the wire can't be accessed well enough to solder/strip.

Thanks a lot for this recommendation. Ended up picking up a very nice desk from their "clearance" room for $255 taxes in. And it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Their regular priced stock is very nice for the price from about $350-$900+ however, if anyone is looking for a great desk and doesn't care too much about the color, they had some insane deals on like light pine colored wood desks that were 8x8 L shaped etc for peanuts, like $290
