air cleaner repair

you can see the bashed up snorkel and the donor one out of the blast cabinet .......I drilled holes in the donor snorkel for plug welds .....and I used weld through primer on the surfaces I wont be able to reach in the paint stage.

the first plug weld went in perfect ...so perfect that I got too confident ....the first one flattened out and is ready to go.

my over confidence smacked me bcoz the second one burned through :banghead: so then it made a nugget as I tried to fix the burn through ....so that one will need some grinding and finishing.

I have the vision already ...I might have to PM Leanne for a pointer on a low buck way to duplicate crinkle finish.

I found a lid that looks like it came with it......when I got the base I didn't get a lid with it. oh well cant complain when you take stuff off a junk pile.

plus my donor cleaners have good vacuum pods and osac valve.:cheers:

now I still need to tackle the snorkel base.
