Ran into a guy that used to have his weld shop a few bays down from my shop and asked him to weld up a few of these cool little.....er..uh...thing a ma bobs. He's an ex boeing welder and welds Stainless for a liveing. These were made from stainless fender washers from the hardeware store and some stainless tube he had at his shop.

The nice thing about haveing them made for me is I can specify the angle that the tube sits at. I'm haveing one more made at 35*. Installation is not quite finished in the picture above. Just needs one more clamp.

Jim-

Those look GREAT! I am sure you got a better deal that the SafeAir1's @ $50 a pop!

$10.00 a pop for those three, the next one at 35* might cost as much as $20.00 cause of more work in fitting the tube to the washer. I'll find out on Sunday. Of course I supply my own firesleave and clamps.

hm those are pretty nice...

I'm equipped to make those, maybe I should give it a shot. If I can make 'em worth a flip, I'll make some for whoever needs 'em.

the price of them seemed really high but by the time you make them you dont save much if you include labor.

those are perfect for the job jim. they look great.
