Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

gbrettin

Filled in a gap with metal instead of attempting to fill a large gap with weld. While setting up the crash bar in the vice I managed to slice my finger open. That's why I have a shop bandage on. Which is ironic, because I was grinding it for paint and so that it doesn't happen.

So the coat of paint is possible temporary because the crash bar will likely get powder coated. Also, I need to grind a few spots back to bare metal and weld tabs on for the air box to the radiator (eventually).

Ordered a couple -12orb to -10an for my Motion Raceworks billet valve breathers. Also, 8 1/4NPT SS bungs are FINALLY coming for my EGT (exhaust gas temp) sensors. Those were ordered in February, covid messed up the supply chain big time for that. Speaking of what's not here... Remember when I ordered my K&N filters? Those are not here yet either. Oh well.

Not sure if I said this before, but I've been waiting on Brian Tooley shaft mounted rockers. I need shaft mounted rockers to prevent deflection/movement on the pushrods. Well, if they don't come through... I'm going to order some of these.

I also need to order one more item for my engine too. Crank scraper w/ attached windage tray. Improved Racing has a great option.

If you tried to fill in that gap. Most likely it would have distorted. It can be done. Put a piece of copper behind it and use it for a back up bar. (The back up bar is to keep the puddle from falling out.) Then slowly weld a little and let it cool. And do it again.
