nice. how much boost you pushin?

 

Planning to run around 15 psi on unported heads.

 

Care to explain the little wiring getup on top of the bucket?? I've been having fits trying to figure out a seamless way to fix that up and you look to have done a very nice job. Just grab a two prong packard weather pack set and you're golden.

 

I noticed you have a non flexible line at the top of the y-block. It needs to have flex so it will fit in the tank and rest on the bottom. If it doesn't rest on the bottom you will not get use of the last quarter tank of your gas.

 

I got some nylon bolts from the hardware store and drilled out the center so I could run the wires through. Drilled a hole in the top plate and pushed the bolt through. Then secured it on the top with a nylon nut. It was sealed on the bottom with an O-ring and the wires are completely sealed with some oil and gas resistant sealant. It was the best solution I could come up with, plus it acts as a grommet so the insulation won't rub through.

 

I took that into consideration and measured the angle of the bracket set so both of the filters rest on the bottom of the tank.

Your sticky was very helpful by the way.

 

Hey leadfoot,

Could you post your pictures in the sticky? Your picture is a little better quality and your nylon bolt is a good idea.

Thanks

 

My only question about the nylon bolt is how well it's going to maintain it's seal and keep the tank pressurized.

 

I don't think there will be any problem maintaining the seal. I torqued down the bolt pretty good and compressed the o-ring until it was flat. And theres definitely no way it could leak through the sealant.

 

I may give it a shot that way then. Care to share exactly what parts you used with part numbers or anything (just the nylon and O-ring stuff).

 

Yeah, you can pretty much get the nylon nuts and bolts at any local hardware store. I looked for the biggest size they carried and I beleive it was a 1/2-standard thread. Other than that all you have to do is get an O-ring the same size (probably in the same isle). You could actually put one on the underside of the lid plate too if you are worried about the seal. Just run the wires through and fill up the hole with sealant and you should be good.
