Great so far
Matt,
I have read all of your thread updates...I like how you have cross linked them
I think the hose barb assembly is the bomb..it is just as I had hoped it would be. I knew that such a thing was possible. Thanks again to Leftc and yourself for all your research! I am pleased to see the assembly on your personal rig and they both look great. Nice job! I am glad we went in this direction originally..The inline bubble counter is much better IME...
I need to see some pics of the needle valve please if it at least the box can be opened
Question:
1) How difficult would it be to make this a dual manifold assembly? We can discuss this privately in more detail re cost and labor... but just give me an idea of difficulty..is it just more parts and assembly time? Seems like it...
I was thinking of using both on my 180 and using two SMALLER rio needle wheels for c02 one at each end....one nv per rio
And would also provide the future flexibilty to run a second tank off the same rig....I like that..
Understood it would delay delivery lol
I really appreciate all the extra effort that went into the hose barb assembly as well as the overall build. I know this rig is going to be built with very high quality components, excellent assembly, and will last for my lifetime at least!
Nice also to hear you speak so often of the quality of each fitting or component. Even the pics show very high precision machining. I used to be an auto mechanic and I know the difference....I can't wait to get it....
The other nice thing is that folks can build this same rig for themselves very easily with all of the information you have documented so far and which Leftc keeps adding to...I know you already threaded your own 1993 build...
I may even try my next one myself using this thread as my bible...
Thanks again...
Gerry.
