    LMAO Bart,

    Would come in handy almost on a daily basis...if it weren't for stupid assault & battery laws...& my disdain for time @ the graybar.

    LOL bart.. always crackin me up..

    looks awesome ldub (i beleive i mentioned this in the picture too lol).. to finish the threads off would a valve stem cover hide it? the little slip on sleeve that comes with chrome valve stem caps would finish it off nicely if it would fit

    I guess the question I should be asking, is how the heck did you make that? Do you have access to a machine shop or something?

    Very cool Larry! But it doesn't look like something a child of the 1960s would have. lol
    Peace.

    Nuthin' fancy...A drill press, some bi-metal hole saws, a bandsaw w/ a metal cutting blade, a wire wheel on a bench grinder & a 1/4" carbide round-over bit in my router table.
    All woodworking tools, but do the trick on 1/2" alum. bar stock that I found in a dumpster. Oh yeah, some 60 grit sand paper to give it some texture.
    I was fortunate to grow up with a dad who always had a shop w/ a pretty good selection of tools. (on a farm, always something to be fixed)
    At the time, I had no idea the education I was getting...dumb kid.

    Gonna look into that valve stem sleeve idea, I might even have one layin' around somewhere.
    Also, Kenny came up with the idea of an anodized fitting from stainless braid hose...still looking at possibilities.

    Tom...child of the 60's ???...I'm more of an "in-betweiner" , I was only 13 by the time the 70's rolled around.
    Turned 6 the day after you were born...remember it well.
