I went the plywood (treated), foam route. Then I covered it using the material from some of my old army duffle bags. It probably makes some of these purists cringe, but I like the personal touch. |

Doesn't it have to be hollow or was the rod bolted

It looks like both were torch cut. Why in $&% would you fire up the torch instead of getting the wrench out?? |

The top oil line to the filter? It should run up from the block
through that round hole on the bracket on the top left,

At any rate it is progress!
Your photo file sizes might be excessively large. Make sure they are less than 400K.
That did it. I sized them down to under 1MB and they uploaded just fine. |
