Yep gas is on, because i`m only tacking, i`m working with one of those disposable cylinders and as we all know, they are barely up to the job, and not helped by the fact i have the door open, but all the final welds will be done once i connect the large cylinder. |

That's very tidy TB. What's the new pipe from? Is that a pre-formed 90 degree bend?
Just shows what can be done with simple hand tools eh.

Its not the tools that are simple, just the guy using them  . I`m not sure what the pipe`s exact original use was, i got it from a guy that was fitting out a shop, it`s got a black coating of something over it that is hiding stainless steel. Yep the bend was pre formed, its half a mill smaller ID than the standard reliant pipe, so should do me nicely. |

Thats what its all about, If you cant buy it, you gotta make it . Just one last point to add, and that is....watch your ground clearance, If i was to do another one, i`d raise the collector box by an inch & half or so. |
