Hello new shoes. Hello air

Ummmm, yeah, that yellow line ruins it all. Toss it in the rubbish bin.

If you want a professional look next time, hog the box and tanks out of a single piece of aluminum. 6061-T6 preferably. :banana:

I always admire people who can do this sort of detailed project. Original thought needed on layout and execution. This isn't a skill set I possess.

Nice work!

However (comma) they make these things call soft jaws for vises. They come in brass, aluminum, plastic, etc. Aeroquip even has their own version for sale (at a BMW premium like price!). OCD my ass.

Lol. Actually truth be told I did have a set of nylon soft jaws for the vise for exactly that....but as is with everything else you very rarely use; on the day you need it, naturally, you can't find it!


As for the tanks, I opted to go with these for a couple reasons. First, they carry the necessary DOT/SAE markings (as does all my PTC fittings & valves) required in my area. Secondly, I really didn't like the way it was going to look with that much aluminum. The black tanks, titanium/black hose ends and nickel plated fittings kept my overall theme more consistent IMO.
