Re: PO has me PO'd
 20130801_134310 by jarosaj, on Flickr Got the first one installed, seems to be a little loose, guess i have to play with the stops Yep, tightened up the bottom collar, pulled the rivnut much tighter Having the right tool for the job, always makes the outcome of the work better

Re: PO has me PO'd
If it bottoms out before it is fully tight turn the wheel on the back of the head clockwise while the gun is released but still inserted in the gripsert. Squeeze the handle again until you get it tight enough. It is hard to apply enough pressure to break the mandrel but it is possible to break it so you just have to find that happy medium. The madrels are replaceable so no big deal if you should snap one. LOL
Just make sure not to leave that 1st one loose. U can screw the gun back in and go again. Richard

Re: PO has me PO'd
 20130804_083211 by jarosaj, on Flickr Ok, finished up the retaining ring, now i can go back and finish the mods on the two remaining ss support rods, and wire up the fuel pump....plus vacuum out the tank of all my machining debris. Pulling the ring down presents a problem since they dont seat tight on the tank. I plan to use lock washers and a thread sealant, and hope it seals tight, if not, ill have to buy new bolts and safety wire it in place. Another option i have is to build spacers between the tank and ring, then i could pull the ring down tight. Then i can offer up the tank to the body, still thinking of moving the tank forward two inches to clear the rear body mount, dont want to fool with taking the stubby neck off and replacing it with the oem neck, unless im forced to....to be determined! Sandemonium posted up a 1 1/2" 90 degree fuel hose(gates 24715) which napa has a superceded number for. Ill order the hose on mon. and see how this works out with fitting up the tank Still have build a tool to install the retaining ring on the fuel sending unit... Thanks Richard for making this step as painless as possible

Re: PO has me PO'd
 20130806_125635 by jarosaj, on Flickr Did mine a little differant, used a 45 degree 1 1/2" hose(napa 1031) , cut about 4" off the hose,and cut about 1" off the stubby neck of the gas tank. Broght the hose out just in front of the body mount. Then went over to my local muffler shop, he had a piece of ss 1 1/2" , perfect, gave him a template of the bend i needed(about 20-25 degrees). Ended up real close to the fill pipe, just used the straight piece of hose i cut off the 45, and it gave it enough wiggle room Dont forget i moved my tank forward about 2"....  20130806_125553 by jarosaj, on Flickr Sheesh, 2 pages on this gas tank, now i have to work on the straps

Re: PO has me PO'd
Received my 90/10 copper nickle tubing today, the company wanted to hold off posting this info. until we could show that shipping this matrl. was viable. Normally, they ship in 8' cardboard tubes, but i wanted the 1/4" (brake lines) coiled and shipped. They had never coiled before, and i had to sign a release for damage that might happen in coiling and shipping. Coil arrived sandwiched between cardboard and 1/4" plywood, banded with steele straps.....no way was UPS going to damage this product coming across the great USofA
Tubing for my gas lines is 3/8", and shipped in straight 8' tubes(UPS regulations), thats where the problem lies. In pa., we cant use splices in our brake lines. So, they coiled a 20' piece, and that should be enough for my back brake lines I may contact in line tube to see if they will sell me the coiled spring cover they use, may want to shield tubing from flying rocks outside of frame rails....well see If you have any questions about using this matrl. in an automotive application, you can contact cda.copper.org, they answered my questions quickly by email. They assured me that alcohol will not corrode the nickle/copper in my fuel lines  20130808_115426 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Been using the nicop from napa for a few years now on different projects. I love it bends easy and flares awesome which is super nice for double flares.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 20130815_103812 by jarosaj, on Flickr Got more fittings and russell pro hose in...( thanks JJK for the product info), found out that jegs fittings are about a 1/3 the price of russell. Putting the hose end on requires the use of grease on the threads Have to build a bracket to support the hoses coming around the power steering These are the clamps and some of the fittings im using....i just realized why they are a 1/3 the price,damn  20130815_113410 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
LOL, I wish I could be bored. The wife is keeping me busy catching up around the house. So far I've painting soffits, wicker furniture, bed rooms and even fixed a oil leak on my sons cabrio. Boy the garage seems big when the vw is in it.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 20130903_141608 by jarosaj, on Flickr I have to remove shock mount to be able to flare tubing, gotta luv removing rivets! I think my mistake is using a pointy driver. Ill try and use a drift pin punch, and see if that drives it out better...2 hours spent on one rivet, and 1 hour cleaning out the truck bed At least i have the fuel lines bent, kinda worried about that, didnt want it to look sloppy. Have to build a 1/4" standoff to clear some of the rivets that are in the way of placement of fuel and return lines. Also, i want to incorperate a clamp to secure my wiring harness on its way to the back
