I just saw a store on commercial drive by venables with a window sign advertising screamers.

I've had many ergo chair experience, and one that I highly recommend is the Humanscale Freedom w/headrest.

It's actually on sale at Staples, and the 14days return policy applies so you can test it out at home.

Asian stores i.e. daiso or amazon has tons too

Metal/aluminum garden hose reel. Yardworks option at CT looks like the best bet, but is a bit pricey. Any other options to look at? Checked Home Depot, Rona, Lowe's already.

Portable cart or wall mounted?
Lee Valley Tools. Pricey though.
Princess auto sometimes has them too.

Kuo Hua Taiwanese market by Richmond SS have the Taiwanese version. It's brown-ish instead of what you posted. But Ear biscuits nonetheless.

Where in Canada can I order an AN -8 to M14x1.5 straight adapter? With as many threads as possible on the M14 side.

hud 91gt 07-23-2020 05:33 AM

Did you check green line hose and fittings?

Getting a a single piece adaptor is going to be hard, but they will certainly be able to piece something together for you. O-ring seal?

I checked their site just now and didn't see anything. I've found a few listings for fittings with this spec but nothing as long as I would like on the M14 side. It's not the best picture but the threads in the transmission are recessed a bit so the fittings that had been in there didn't have much engagement.

The factory setup does use an o ring of some kind.

Best bet is amazon. If really has to be local, I’d say Canada computers or memory express should have them

Lordco or napa usually has a rack of random clips like that

you'd be surprised how hard it is to find mini to mini USB (not micro)...nada even on alibaba and ebay

looks like my best option is to go through blackboxmycar then adapter the micro end :alone:

Oh, I didn't think about mini-to-mini. In my mind was regular USB to Mini... ha.

That's a rare cable indeed, at any given length really... can't really think of anything that needs this kind of setup.

If it's for dashcam, isn't it just power (usually USB) to the mini/micro USB on dashcam? If that's the case, you just have to make sure the 12v-USB adapter has enough wattage/amperage for the dashcam and that the cable is capable of delivering as such (some dashcam use out-of-usual-spec watttage/amperage than what standard USB2.0 would provide. A modern PD USB 10w 12v adapter and you should be good to go rather than hunting down a mini-to-mini USB cable (assuming it's for the factory 12v adapter)

usb mini male to usb 2.0 male and above?

twitchyzero 07-27-2020 07:50 PM

not just for power as it writes 1080p video to the memory card up front

probably have to import the oem cable for the cost of a cheap dash cam :okay:
