yea a bigger pin would require drilling the leaf springs and that seems kinda scary and then it wouldn't match the typical car from the era

hehe thanks ...
only thing I was worried about is when I welded the pipe nipple section in, I saw some weird smoke come out of the center of the fitting and I am thinking that was smoke from the galvanized part.
I remember in school them saying to not weld on galvanized because it makes a poison gas. I think I grinded all the galvanization off the outside though.
OH NO poison gas !!! I had to open the door right away and ventilate, just in case....there goes my brain cells and probably ovaries too LOL

luckily it was very windy last night so I open my garage door and my back door and it makes a wind tunnel and gets rid of smoke and fumes in a hurry like that.

Nah, galvanization is just zinc. They put that in vitamins and it's a necessary nutrient for your body.
Too much, like any metal, is toxic...but a little is not.
No worries, your ovaries and brain cells are safe.
my wife talks to God..ops: that's different.. LOL
He just asks me off the wall things to see were my current state of mind is and test my memory. Once when I first started seeing him I know I scared him. He told me his fear was picking up the paper and seeing me in it. I told him no chance of that doc if I make the news it wont be the local or even the national. It will be world news. His response was that's my greatest fear. I luv screwing with him.
Phosgene gas. Yes it's toxic.

I don't think there was much if any ...I ground off the outside of the fitting pretty good and the inside, couldn't get in there but it was only like 5/8" of each end of the fitting .....
so I doubt there was much and possibly none .....maybe just smoke from the heat.
either way I didn't breathe it and ventilated the place right away

A nice Steelhead Trout fillet for dinner tonight. Gently poached and it pairs nicely with my signature alfredo rice Florentine with some warm crusty sourdough bread and butter on the side.
Oh yeah, besides the artwork...I'm a pretty good chef too!

Good so the smoke looked like white string.
I don't know about ovaries but it will put a major hurt on your lungs and kidneys in short order.

Zinc Fumes -- A Safety Hazard?
When zinc vapor mixes with the oxygen in the air, it reacts instantly to become zinc oxide. This is the same white powder that you see onsome noses at the beach and the slopes. Zinc oxide is non-toxic and non carcinogenic. Extensive research into the effects of zinc oxide fumes has been done, and although breathing those fumes will cause welders to think that they have the flu in a bad way, there are no long-term health effects. Zinc oxide that is inhaled is simply absorbed and eliminated by the body without complications or chronic effects. Current research on zinc oxide fumes is concentrated in establishing the mechanism by which zinc oxide causes "metal fume fever," how its effects are self-limiting and why zinc oxide fume effects ameliorate after the first day of exposure even though the welder may continue to be exposed to zinc during subsequent days ("Monday-morning fever"). Other research is being done using zinc oxide fumes togetherwith various drugs which results in a synergetic effect for treatment of cancerand AIDS. Another area of research is use of zinc compounds as the active ingredientsin throat lozengers that are recognized as significantly effective in reducingthe duration and intensity of the common cold. Typical “metal fume fever”begins about 4 hours after exposure, and full recovery occurs within 48 hours.The symptoms include fever, chills, thirst, headache and nausea. All of these symptoms, pain and suffering, as well as lost work (and play) time, can be avoided entirely by simply not inhaling the zinc oxide fumes. This can easily be done using any of the methods described later.
Unlike other heavy metals, such as copper, lead and mercury, zinc is an essential micro nutrient. Zinc is essential to the proper growth ofplants and animals. Zinc forms part of the enzyme system that regulates biological processes throughout the body. As shown on any multi-vitamin/mineral bottle, the recommended minimum adult intake is 15 mg/day.

There is plenty to share, c'mon over! We bought 10 lbs of fresh Steelhead filets yesterday. It's the annual first-of-season sale at the local fish market.
