DaveEngineering:
Oh yeah, looking good. keep them pics coming.
BDI:
Don't forget to get rid of the weld seem on the frame where the lower cross over hose goes between the cylinder and frame :wink: Man I have to say I'm struggling with a little bit of radiator envy.
jonny500:
yes i had noticed that, also making things worst is the wall thickness on that pipe is big, so i may have to look in my rad hose box for something better, but yes i think some of that weld will have to go
BDI:
You know If I was to do it again I think what I would do is notch the frame out and weld in a quarter piece of tubeing to make plenty of room and retain the strength of the frame.
