smudge that there is some very fine welding you are putting out. Yes you can lose a lot of the day watching this sort of thing on youtube I really would love a TIG and it is next on the shopping list I think.
maybe a silly question but is the vertical bit on the front a level to see how much oil has been collected? Also nice welding, I've been wanting to get some kit for a while to play with but just not happen yet, I also still get a little confused with the different types and applications of welding.
Yep, the vertical tube is so that I can read the oil level and therefore empty the tank before it gets to full.
Yes, the Mann-Hummel ProVent. I want me one of these. But nice work, Tom. Wouldn't mind rocking one of those myself.
Hadn`t seen the welding on this, your build thread update prompted me to look. Mate, I`m impressed ! Ali welding is hard enough, never mind if you`re learning to TIG at the same time. I take my hat off to you, it`s something I can`t do.
Cheers Nige, to be fair I have found the whole learning curve fairly flat, it's not really that difficult to get started with TIG, just follow the guides and advice out there, it will however take time and practice to get neat welds. And time is always short! But I will try and put in as much practice as I can at work.
Has anybody ever tried a large inlet/outlet airline filter, as i've never seen it done? They are extremely high throughput so never going to be a restriction, rated to high pressures and are designed to pickup water/oil down to 1m or less with no pressure drop. The one I got my hands on is a little overkill I think with a throughput of 159cfm at 16bar but i'm still thinking about how to mount it and where to plumb it in. How much air is expected to flow through these things anyway? all my research points to bigger the better... It's sort of a pet project as well at the moment as im sick of oily deposits on my steering rack (where my 'breather' leads) lol
