air line through frame/crossmember
 

I think I remember a thread from a while back about where to route air lines and someone had a nice picture of a bulkhead fitting, or an air line or something through the frame or the crossmember? Does anybody remember that thread? Or have any ideas? Pics would be great. I can't find anything searching.

Thanks,

Could these be the pics?

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

No...but man!!!! That's amazing. Great work. What I was looking for were just some simple ways of running the air line into the crossmember for the front bags. I think somebody had a 90degree bulkhead fitting and someone just drilled a hole and put a grommet in it to protect the line. I was hoping to find that thread, and maybe stir up some other ideas.

But thanks for those pictures, I'd really like to try something like that, but I think it's a little beyond my abilities right now. I might try a new fuel line to a tank under the bed, and maybe some brake lines, but I'd have to work up to air lines and all, especially as clean as all that.

I used bulkheads on my pancaked xmember, currently for sale here.

I see one that's like 1/32 off.
















I bet he will spend 10 minutes looking for it...;)

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

Yeah, I'm kind of embarrassed for him for even taking the pictures. *cough cough*

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

That's impressive and a good example of taking the time to do something exceptionally well.

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

I bet you I know every square inch down to the 1/32.:four:

Besides I did that way back when I was 24 yrs. old

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

Way back in your amatuer days....:lol:

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

Sweet fab work on the lines. XXL where did you get the bulkhead fittings?

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

I don't recall where I got them... some place local to wherever I was at the time. They're stock items from SealExcel (Parker).

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

Thanks guys. Here's a few of a brake system I did last week on Bill Neuman's 32 coupe he's building in Street Rod Builder.

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

Just guessing here, but are your lines bent with some type of automated bender/ computer program, or so you do them by eye and by hand?

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

My eye's, tape measure and luck!!! :lol: But it all depends on whitch ever one is working the best.

Re: air line through frame/crossmember
 

And I'm willing to bet more than one 'first attempt' has wound up in the scrap pile . . ..... :lol: . Nice work on that '32.
What's the latest on the truck-arm set-up you were working on?
