82 K20 CREW "WONTON"

[Kevmohara]

Yeah I've never seen a magnetic break either that's cool. Reservoir turned out really nice.

 

[Chinahands]

Did you pressure test your welds?

I'm going to tonight after work.

Of course you know to use 1.5x the operating pressure to assure mechanical integrity.

This truck is bad ass. I've enjoyed paging thru this thing. The work you do and the resources you have are awesome!

 

[Chinahands]

Of course you know to use 1.5x the operating pressure to assure mechanical integrity.

Yes I do. Which for this will technically be 0 psi as it's vented.

 

[80' 427]

Good, because with square heads the design pressure is pretty low.

 

[GWeakland620]

But it's vented...

 

[Chinahands]

Good, because with square heads the design pressure is pretty low.

I'm confused by what you mean by square heads?

 

[80' 427]

I should have said flat but pressures vessels with flat heads have a very low pressure rating unless they are stupid thick
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(vessel)
It should also be cylindrical.

Maybe we should add accumulators to these systems to help when the pressure drops.

 

[Chinahands]

Gotcha, good thing it won't have any pressure. Next time I'll consult an engineer before I build something!

Hopefully you find a good one, because I don't know any.

 

[Chinahands]

I haven't gotten as much done lately as I'd like, but I guess that's summer. Power steering resevoir, new hydroboost and master cylinder and ps cooler are all in. I had to order a ram from PSC. My surplus center one isn't going to work with the brackets I made. Building all new brake lines currently. Hopefully it will have brakes an steer next week.

 

[80' 427]

Why won't the cylinder work.

 

[Chinahands]

Why won't the cylinder work.

The surplus center cylinder only has one mount that pivots. With how my tabs are it puts the fittings into my axle or tie rod.

 

[F.S.F.W]

You seriously do some nice work.

 

[Chinahands]

You seriously do some nice work.

Wait til I start a thread for my show
truck!

 

[F.S.F.W]

Wait til I start a thread for my show
truck!

Haha! Well it will be even more encouragement to take my time and do things right.

 

[UpnAdam]

If I were at a show I'd still be looking at this truck!

 

[Chinahands]

Teaser pics.

 

[F.S.F.W]

Can't wait to see that one!
