Since you only need a start position I would use Napa (Echlin) PN KS123... Keyed 3 position, (momentary on - off - momentary on) good for 20 amps so the solenoid amperage will not be a problem... 13/16 mounting diameter, 1" long stem so its fairly small and is o ring sealed....
LOL @ air soluble... I usually refer to em as "Jesus springs"...
The amount of knowledge this place tosses around is rather amazing at times!!! The rebuilding part I am sure I will have no problem with, you never know what your getting into until your in to it and I hate finding out a "kit"...
Does anyone have experience rebuilding an airvac (brake booster, air over hyd) unit? I have a fluid leak starting and I see Saturn has kits available for them for 36$ (pic). But I am not sure if that kit does both side of the unit and or if anything else is needed?
Do a search, there have been several post on this subject with a little "how to"... and "how NOT to" info. The just of it is this... If it decides to blow it will kill whomever it hits...
Great trip over all till I hit south FL, nothing says welcome back to the concrete jungle like 5 MPH I95 traffic!!!!
I went up to look at a Iron worker but it turned out to be about 5 times the size of what I really have room for. (damn it!)
Two Deuces... Lots of metal work needed on both...
Well I got to see it from behind a locked fence!! (why do places close EARLY) At least I know where it is now and your right Kenny... Not a lot to see there but I have the fever :).... NICE neighborhood... anything under 50 tons left outside at night would get carried away!
Three 5 tons, one...

Murphy's Law... If it can happen it will happen and it will always happen to me at the WORST possible time and with the simplest of failures... This is my approach to batteries... If they are out of warranty I go the route of...
This is an old post but I will toss in my 2 cents and give a little input from auto interior work...
Sound proofing or more correctly "shutting the damn pig up" is a lot less complicated than it sounds. Standard carpeting pile is what 99% of auto shops use its cheap and is sold at hardware...

A word of caution...
I have bought a lot of items from GL and have managed to put together a fairly nice metal working shop from it.. MOST of my purchase have been great only needing TLC, tinkering and paint... However a few of them have been a total waste of time and rather huge waste of...
