It looks to me like you could make a tube, weld it in and be done . The length gives you a little room to play with as far as needin a real good fit.

I will get the job done no doubt about that, but it tickles me mow much of a difference there is between what i get told and what the thing relay looks like.
That is my plan more or less. plan to leave the tube undersized and bore it after welding. have a feeling it will warp. if i dont and leave it sloppy enough to allow for warp is not going to my style. I learned better to do a job better than expected than not good enough.

It looks like you could use more air. And maybe more amps too.

Dang shure could used more amps now running a bobcat 250 maxed at 250 3/16 carbon have a big 40 to put on the truck when I get a chance to go through it. It has been in cold storage for a while.
as far as air goes i have a imt hydraulic drive compressor 25 cfm. to put on when things slow down for know i will keep using my gas drive 10 cfm.
js fab "No. Just pick a bigger carbon rod."
What size would you suggest 3/16 now.Last edited by dppmfg; 10-21-2010 at 07:23 PM.
