Old Buck's Project "Mini Me"

[oldbuck40]

:smile15: cool greg, are you gonna put a lil i.d. nozzle insert in the place divertor?

no the one i have doesnt have that option! pic's will be back in a minute! i didnt like the size. :smile23: the hole in the discharge end of the bowl was the same size as the nozzle adapter so i figured wtf. leave it like that,it should work.

should work, but you may find some extra mph in a smaller nozzle i.d. :smile12: they're pretty easy to make if you have access to a lathe, which you do. i've made some from pipe before, just used my uncle's lathe to cut the o.d. down to the right size, then i.d., then i pinned them in the nozzle with set screws.

:smile12: :smile12: :smile12: i'll have to keep that in mind! bet it would be pretty easy.

Well, the trailer to this little project came out of the paint booth today. Let me tell you guys this thing is SLICK. All welds have been smoothed out, and the paint is flawless. Pics dont do it justice, but I will give it a try.....
