    What's This material called?

    Decided to reupholster my seats. After reading this site and practicing some, I think I can do it myself. I've got everything that I need except the mesh material on the bottom of the seat. I considered covering it with vinyl, but think that it may need the mesh to let the plywood breath. I've...

    Seatbelts!

    Trailer Brakes

    Just bought a boat. The PO decided it was a good idea to remove the master cylinder for the trailer brakes rather than fix them. I want to fix them. How do I know which cylinder to get, or does it matter? It's a 23' tandem axle trailer. Thanks guys.
