Wade's Catch-All Project Thread

[Tubajug]

You do very fine work there roweenie. I am always impressed with its cleanliness and its "factory" look. That rotor just looks like it belongs there! Well done sir!

On another note...where can a 0.689 piston be found? Sorry to hijack your thread Wade, but I love your projects! I'm very encouraged by the walk-throughs. I love seeing those almost more than those that simply present a final product. I love to hear about the process!

I had to put my 5th valve on my Monster Eb at a 45º angle just like yours as it was the only way to fit in the space and be removable from the casing. That made the linkage a bit weird. We think alike, sir, at least in this manner. Nice work.

Indeed - I got the idea from following your play-by-play .... thanks!

Very informative explanation - thanks!

What tool(s) would be used to expand such large pieces of tubing?

And, I'm guessing that since the tubes are telescoped, a Rusk-cut really isn't a "cut", leaving the original tubing intact but hidden?

That look like a muffler pipe expander - ingenious!

I was thinking of something like a thick tapered wooden table leg, but it probably wouldn't hold up to the force needed to expand the brass.
