[Krimz]

How is it coming along?

[Craved]

Progress at last

[Craved]

still some to finish off

needs the following :

cut out to clear the fuse box mount

billet alloy filler cap

holes for the washer pumps

-10 fittings for the breather hoses

drain plug for catch can side

finish fillet welding the 2 bits together (amps needed keep throwing the breaker lol)

figure out what kind of outlet is required - either for filter or plumb back

Christofer.. you roxors my soxors!

[Craved]

Christofer.. you roxors my soxors!

lol - why you no call me for?

ahha you want one too ?

[Moanie]

oops! didn't know I was meant to call!! so tired.. sing me a lullaby?

[**JaR**]

ooo how much you gonna charge me for 1 of these when you perfect them?

[Omurru]

looks good chris. making one up myself at the moment, how thick was the aluminium you used and what type of aluminium was it? Does it make much of a difference when it comes to welding if your using a soft or hard ally?

[Craved]

i guess that depends on what finish you want on it

This is 2.5mm alloy using 1.6mm filler rods

i am not sure on the grade of filler at this point or the alloy grade for the sheets- i just get off cuts and run some test welds to work out the best Amps for that alloy im using.

its just a shame the TIG im using does have a foot controller.

don't mind the raw look actually, as long as all the welds are really neat it'd look sweet

[Craved]

so your saying those welds arent good enough ?

would you want a filter on it? or another dash fitting for plumb back?

[Sl!m]

lol Johnneh,

Hey mate, those welds are pretty damn neat. I'd be very happy with that in my engine bay

[Trent04]

haha yeh the welds came up awesome, wouldnt mind one either

[dezz]

the welds on the 1 in the first post are FKING AWESOME . I'd take that in my engine bay any day...

second 1 doesn't look as neat, but I'm not bagging it, its a million times better than anything I could do!

[Craved]

yeah fair enough - first posts one was without filler

going to make a couple more and get them welded up without filler

the one above i'll get the fittings and filler welded on - this one would be fine for powdercoat as that neatens up the welds heaps.

[dezz]

you're doing good stuff man.

I might be interested in 1 of the split washer bottle/catch cans actually...probably just in the raw metal finish...any chance of PM'ing me with a rough price?

let me finish this one off and then i'll let you know

would be different if using another dash fitting for legal plumb back versus getting a filter for it
