A little more done, may not look much, but taken most of the day to get the end cap of the case to fit in welding next, which i think will take a few hours...... things need to as much as possible stay striaght and true

Wow, that is one nice bellmouth! If the fuel pump hangs up and the engine starts to run away you can just lean back and use the helmet as a shutoff-valve. |

I can imagine. Yup, somewhere down the road I need to learn how to pressure turn sheet metal on the lathe. Btw, is it just my computer or is your text size enormous? |

Pressure turning... You mean this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DrI5B4hui0Ive been running my medium sized lathe for over 30 years (as an Hobbyist, I must say, but with quite a bit of experience ) and this is not something I would give a try. Looks too dangerous to me. Just a little too much grab from the cutting tool and you'll break things while your work turns into a frisbee possibly aiming at you. At minimum drill center hole, then weld it shut if needed. Just my humble advice. |

A friend made bellmouth intakes for his supercharged Harley 750 flathead this way so it can be done with only some youtube schooling. Sorry for kidnapping your build thread Andy, we´ll continue this in PM if there is any more to discuss. |
