The ends fitted quite well with the aid of a few clamps and a few tack welds. The inlet holes were done with a hole saw and the spouts welded in place

Just to show how I make a lot of discs all the same size. I start with a length of 5mm plate and mark my circles, cut rough in the bandsaw, trim around on the notcher, drill a hole in the centre to fit a 1/2 inch bolt, clamp them together and lathe them to size. These parts are for the filter plates. 1 gets welded to the tank and the other one is bolted to it with a gasket. I'll be making the filter part tomorrow.

Default Vision Shutters

Colin,

Any chance of you posting pics of how you made the glass holding part of the vision shutter? AMAZING WORK!

Hi Stephen, I never took any photo's when I did that set but here's what I did. I bent the channel in the folder to the size I wanted and simply bent it around the same shaped form of the original radius. In this case I folded the channel with a 5mm inside measurement. the material you see is 5mm thick and I just put it in the vice and just hammered id around part way. it will flare out but if you take it out of the vice with the form a couple of times and hammer down to shrink it then it will form the right radius. There was no rocket science in the way I do this and that was about one minute to form that bend. I had a form the same dimensions as the glass but I just can't find it. I hope this helps.
Colin.

I had some visitors today so I never got to finish my fuel pickup parts but I did get some time consuming parts done.

Wow, I can't believe it been so long since I put anything on about this carrier. I've just been preoccupied doing lots of other important things. Now I need to finish this project and I need a couple of rear light. I've never made these before so I thought I'd have a go.
I made a 4 part pressing and cut some 2" exhaust pipe for the main body.
