i needed some fittings to tee into my oil pressure sending port for my oil feed line, so i went to a local hydralic supply company. showed the counter man what i needed. he comes back with exactly what i need. i ask how much. he says don't worry about it. that has made me feel good all day

 

hell yeah i love it when i get free parts like that most of the time it is cheapo orings though you got lucky man.

 

That's awesome. My local hyd shop (Hampton Rubber Supply) guys are AWESOME!!! They build a lot of stuff for the military, custom stuff for ships engineering rooms and what not... huge Navy contracts (some of the stuff they have back there looks like it could fuel up the Space Shuttle's main tank)... then there's me.

For about 2 months or so I was in there twice a week... "Hey LT, how's that little tic-tac you drive coming... we ever gonna see it?" Ex-Chiefs crack me up!

 

HELL YA! Hampton Rubber is the ****! Everybody there knows is awsome. I cant tell you how many times I have gone in there explaining something in jibberish and there like, hold on a second, and they come back with exactly with what I need!

 

speaking of free stuff, i went to the local fastenal today to find a replacement bolt for the bottom of the alternator. The guy helps me get the bolt, a few nuts and some washers and then tells me its on the house I was pretty happy.

 

when i worked at autozone I would give my best customers free stuff...always made them happy.
