Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i did look at some of the boat ones, and am considering that i want to go the least expensive way without going to "cheap" looking, i might just end up with the $119 speedway one it is the best looking complete set up that i have found for the money

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
These remind me of GT40's which is a great car to be reminded of. That said, the Crafty B's are really cool and have just a touch more style.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I agree those are the coolest , just out of my budget I thought the 119 was to high I think I am going to check out some industrial websites and see if I can come up with something cool and unique

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
My 68 Jag XJ6 had two like that, one on top of each quarter panel for the dual fuel tanks. They held water around the rim and dumped it into the tank when you poped the cap. I installed some drain tubes in the wells to give it somewhere to go. Bad design putting them completely horizontal without the top cap sealing to the body. I'm sure the newer caps like that have a better design that keeps the water from getting in.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Mike, after looking at how crafty-b makes theirs, they don't look to be terribly difficult to make. I am sure you could have one custom built out of aluminum or stainless for less, heck if you went stainless you could use milk line for a base and with the way the flanges are on the ends they are already grooved for an o ring and you would just have to weld on a hinge for a cap, it could probably be done for less than that 119 you were talking about spending. Just my 2 cents...

I like the idea of making your own base and using the CB750 flip up top on it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Take a look at boat fuel door assemblies too. They have some cool stuff too.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Those are called "Bung Holes" LOL
I bought a bunghole for my chopper. I always say it in a Bevis and ButtHead voice.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
setting at work messing with trying to figure out how to route my lines without criss crossing each other, the way Accuair has there lines set up they criss cross instead of having both the pass side come out of one side and both the drivers side come out of the other side, i dont understand that ??

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Aluminum hard lines are going to look great! you going to polish them?, much more show worthy than black air brake hose imo

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
havent decided on polishing them or not it depends on how i end up routing them, i thought i could rout them underneath like i have in the pic but when i got home last night , there isnt enough room underneath to do that so they might go over the top if they do then yes i will polish them !

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Just got my polished alt case in the mail !! looks great here is my plan all of my brackets and pulleys are March mid mount serpentine (powdercoated black) along with the power steering pump so to break up all of the black on the front of the motor my thoughts are to "Satin Finish" this alt case along with satin finishing the polished Moroso water pump ? the block will be factory orange stock looking , what do you guys think ?? and what do you think is the method to get the "brushed Look" ??? steel wool ? scotch brite pad ?
