Rusty92 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Pat, what are you using for the lines on the engine? Clear bead line of some sort? And as for the hexagon fittings also? They look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the hexagon fittings also? They look great! The clear stuff is Cousin D.I.Y. .5 mm clear stretch cord. The gold stuff is 24 GA Cousin beading wire. The copper stuff is 30 GA Artistic Wire. The larger silver stuff is 22 GA bare wire. Most are from Michaels and /or Dollar stores. The hex fittings are No.11 Fusion beads, https://www.fusionbeads.com/Size-11-Metallic-Dark-Bronze-Hex-Japanese-Seed-Beads-by-Toho-222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 WoW! I really want to add plumbing to one of my builds someday. Thanks for the great pics as well as the specific items you use. I forsee a trip to HL or Michael's in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there is this in the kit which looks like it is either optional or extra. Looks like a very heavy duty rear axle. These are great kits that go together surprisingly well. The issues i remember with mine were the rear suspension has a small rake to it and i also used Aitm wheels on the front of mine, which look great but i had to do a lot of cutting to make the wheels sit in closer to the frame......those extra suspension parts are for the DM 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Plumbed the front end using a sketch found here. The two loose ends will connect to the valve under the foor below the brake pedal. I see some of the fittings on the tank have moved. Making up an air dryer. it will be between the tanks and the compressor. Where do the fuel lines connect on the tanks? Is the rectangular fitting where they go or is it underneath?

Chariots of Fire Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 What are you using for the hex nuts on the ends of the hoses? Fusion beads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I think I have my answer for yesterday's question. Air dryer is mounted and hooked up. Next comes the fuel lines. Am I going to run into grief by mounting the cab floor to the frame now? It would allow me to connect those air lines before painting the frame. the instruction have you mount it to the cab first.

drinkone2 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Wow, nice work on the plumbing, and thanks for the info on what you used! I definitely need to try it on one of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Pat - to hopefully answer your question about mounting the floor, I did just that on my paystar mixer. The cab slid right over the outside and fit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) OK, now I need your help. What is the name and the function of the three canisters circled in red so I can do research on where they hook up. Thank you very much.

It is amazing how much detail we put into certain builds for it only to be seen in photos, cause once it’s in the display case , we hardly look at the details. We are a crazy bunch, aren’t we?
