Borowed some lathe time today

[verde]

Before anyone asks, the answer is no I don't have that kind of access to the lathe and Z1 carries similar. For anyone making their own, I went with .420 inch diameter with .320 diameter gooves and it seems to work perfect with the o-rings I found(tool width for the groves was .070 ish). Just a c-hair skinnier than their plastic counterparts in the body since these won't have any give.



Nipple was press fit and then silver brazed. Unfortunately it's a little washed out in the pic.

Nice. I accidentily launched one of those across my garage last weekend, it'll never be found again! lol

z1 sells those? I need to get one.

Sweet! Looks like they will last a little longer than 30-40 years.

Very nice work.

Made this one with some help from a friend. Used to have an old South Bend 9" in the garage but it was too heavy to move across the country. I miss it.

Yup. Somewhere they have the stubby non-T ones as well.

Thanks guys. Yeah, now the fuel connectors will outlast the stuff that's expected to wear out, haha. Funny thing is my parts carbs came with a stock looking all metal and o-ring T rather than the obnoxious vulcanized rubber. Saved me making 2 of those at least.

I know how that moving stuff goes. I would love to expand my tool collection, but I have enough garage inertia as it is and won't be in any one house for all that long for the next few years.

I put them to work right away... well maybe more like right after a manic night of finishing a clutch and other odds and ends before going for a test ride at 1:30 in the morning If it were a blingy bike I might polish 'em up, but I think letting them go to a natural tarnish will fit right in here.

Reminded me of the "home made" ones that were on the 77 750 when i got it. The dude took 4 spray can lids and dug the plastic ribs out of them and drill holes in the lids for air...then stiffed with green scrubbies for the filter media. I almost crapped myself from laughing so hard at that one!!!

Hey now, don't give me any ideas....

Drill plenty of holes so you dont wind up running in a slightly choked situation...LMAO. Wish i had taken pics of them..just way over the line.
