Though they seem simple enough, the uninitiated might have trouble determining what screw sizes, and nail sizes and types are good for their projects. Widespread fastener use has benefited in modern times from standardization focused on preventing misuse and encouraging compatibility. Organizations such as the Industrial Fastener Institute and federal legislation like the Fastener Quality Act have worked to promote stringent and wide-ranging standards for fasteners of all kinds. Nails, screws, bolts, clamps, rivets and other fasteners are all governed by these standards, allowing manufacturers, engineers, woodworkers and others to produce materials that can work using these regulated measurements and compositions. Nails and screws, possibly the most commonly used fasteners, both benefit from standardization tables. So what are the common nail sizes and types and what different screw types are there?

Solution: Don’t cut corners. Follow the specified installation procedure and use correct and undamaged bolting hardware for the application. Over the long term, you’ll save time and costs because your risk of failure will greatly decrease. Use new industry standard grade A193 B7 or stronger bolts, because weaker or well-used bolts get overstretched. Bolts are designed by grade to stretch and act as springs to hold the flanges together. If you plan to reuse the bolts, they must first be cleaned and inspected.

Here’s a factory original 1969 Camaro Z/28. These are the gaps you want focus on. Door and fender gaps are the first thing you see when approaching a car. The most important gaps are those on top that you first see opening doors. The door should sit flush with the quarter-panel with a perfect 1/8- to 3/16-inch gap. GM allows for up to a 1/4-inch, which, in our opinion, is too wide.

On Sunday (June 23), South Africa’s ICC World Cup 2019, has come to a halt when they lost their fifth match of the ongoing ODI showpiece at Lord’s. Thus, following a premature exit from the tournament, skipper Faf du Plessis drew flak for holding the Indian Premier League (IPL) responsible regarding the Proteas horrendous show at the World Cup.

“It’s about visual inspection,” said Steve Zaborowski, senior vice president for Xtra Lease. “If you see something’s wrong, you investigate it. If you see something that just doesn’t look right, you shouldn’t just let it ride. You should stop, take a look at it, and make sure the system is working in accordance with how it was planned to be used.”

Incredibly, it came down to the last ball. Two runs needed. Nobody could bare watch. Even the cheerleaders, some of whom were not from cricket countries, seemed genuinely panicked.

Innovative hotel architecture is still part and parcel of the Istrian cultural package. Completed in 2012, Rovinj’s Hotel Lone (designed by Zagreb’s 3LHD), was a deliberate attempt to match the achievements of the Sixties generation by creating something uncompromisingly contemporary that could also serve as an object of beauty. Over on the other side of Rovinj’s broad bay is the Hotel Amarin (Sudio UP; 2016), an agenda-setting family resort comprising alien-spaceship hotel and innovative, colour-coded children’s park. With the hanging-garden terraces of the Grand Hotel Park (3LHD again) currently taking shape opposite Rovinj’s medieval centre, the town is beginning to look like a premonition of Croatia’s future as well as a well-preserved morsel of an illustrious past.

Then there is the analysis provided by two well-respected figures on the New York scene, Andy Serling and Maggie Wolfendale. Acacia Courtney, celebrated for her work on behalf of The Stronach Group, recently joined the star-studded lineup to add her expertise.

In an eventful session which saw multiple fallers in conditions cooler than expected, including a heavy tumble for Lorenzo in the final few minutes of FP1, Quartararo lined up some late fast laps on fresh soft tyres to produce a 1m 33.909s to beat Vinales by 0.077s who led for the majority of the morning practice.

YOU have to admire a bloke that’s in it for the long run. A bloke that’s held on to his first car, purchased before he even got his driver’s licence, then rebuilt – several times – and improved upon it until it turns into a 1000hp-plus monster capable of eight-second timeslips. That’s the story of Nick Ierino’s HZ and it’s been a long and sometimes winding road, so we might as well start at the very beginning, back in 1992.

Dearly known as the “Parasakthi Express” by his CSK teammates, Tahir commented on his celebration, saying, “Sometimes, my wife and son are here, and I want to show them that I love them as much as I love CSK, so at times, I run towards them. But normally, I don’t know when I am celebrating, I hope that people like this. Pray to Allah, I keep taking wickets like this and celebrating like this.”

The leather seats in our top-spec Exceed tester are bold, simple and comfortable, with contrasting stitching adding a bit of brightness to an otherwise sombre cabin.
