Nice touch! How you going to keep fine debris from getting (and later peeking back out) in between the trim and the pipe body?

Theres no gap Bob, Its as tight as i could get it.

Another personal touch Steve. I think we need to tally these up somehow! It looks great, of course!

Ok, that does it..........I'm officially a hack! Steve, your touches never cease to amaze me and the rest of us, I'm sure. You aren't planning on running a plain old ignition key, are you?

Plain old ignition key you got to be kidding

I don't think you will ever be considered a hack Don, I always admire my elders

Don I think he's going to mill his own keys out of stainless! And i noticed he didn't deny the possibility of making his own ignition!

Cheers Steve, I just couldn't go with the norm

I polished the inside Pat and they push on really tight, I will fuse weld the outlet end and then polish out the weld later.

Still no conrods so been fiddling with bits & pieces, i'm using Thru the frame fittings but didn't want to use catalogue parts so came up with the same fitting but looking different and cost pennies and a couple of hours time instead of $25


Here's a normal catalogue Thru the frame fitting, looks like a bolt don't it








Here's a 9/16" or 14mm stainless bolt that will look like a different Thru the frame fitting








First job was to drill it through the centre with a 8.5mm drill (this is the tapping size for 3/8" UNF)








Next the head end was tapped 3/8" UNF to accept a stainless banjo bolt.







The other end was drilled to be tapped 1/8" NPT to accept a stainless 90 degree brake adaptor.








Here it is fitted up with a brake hose.








Here its trial fitted in a piece of frame material.
