Just like the chimp I'm surprised it works. Left over 2" OD pipe. I used the galvanize elbow. It fits over the nut well an doesn't nick the ball joint. I transposed the notches onto the pipe with a pencil then cut on the lines with a hack saw. Removed waste with a cut off wheel (I just can't accept the fact I'm done grinding). It appears that the teeth on the tool are not evenly spaced as this only fit one way so, I think you have to work closely off of a nut. (Probably so the tool is proprietory)

That's Por 15. I don't know how it will hold up but, I had it and I know it's better than rattle can. I also know it's not as good as powder coating. I had to draw the line someplace. The budget's already shot. Thank goodness for the business card (wife never sees the statement). Hope I never get auditted. Dave |
