Today I went to my mate Rods house to borrow some time on his lathe. I want to make the nipples the hose will connect my tank to my chamber with.
Istarted with 12mm round bar, then faced the end and drilled a pilot hole in the end to hold the work centered.
Next I turned the bar down to 10mm dia.
the profiled it
once that was done I drilled a 7mm hole through the center
now I just need to make another one
I spent the rest of the day helping Rod remove the engine from his racing sidecar unit as it needs an engine rebuild after every 5 hours of racing.
When I got home I drilled out the fuel tap chamber to bronze weld the nipple to.
I'll drill the tank tomorrow.
