I need to clock the steel tube to clear the trunk.
I'm guessing it's pressed into heated aluminum, maybe with a lube that turns into a glue? Anyone know for sure? @Superhawk996 maybe? I have a 1500F heat gun to work with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1677898518.1.jpg) |

Update: surprisingly easy. Used the old deteriorated pipe to experiment with.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1678418169.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1678418169.2.jpg) FYI- steel tube is only .060 so too thin for me to MIG, plus without fresh plating it would rust apart in no time. This mod and replacing the heater return pipe and removing the no-longer needed vacuum tubing spaghetti knocks 2" off the rear / trunk side. Finally a reason to update my build thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-431-1678418170.3.jpg) |
