Ooooo, dat clever. Ifn I get outta dem serplus 3/16 ss, I ken make
dem.

I does has a good lathe I mite get to werkin, but I don't have no way
ta hold da 1/8 line ifn I don't by dat ting from Spruce.. WELL, i TELL YA

HOW TO DO DAT--You takes a short peece of 3/16" line( 1/8" i.d.) & you
grab your trusty moto tool with the fine thin grinder blades & you cuts a slit
in it length wise, slip this little bugger on the 1/8" line & clamp the whole
ferschluggin mess in the 3/16" hole in your flare clamp doohickey.---ON SECOND
THOUGHT, MEBBY YOU BETTER MAKE 2 SLITS IN IT, if you wants to
take it off..

Then you all knows bout the merger tween Honeywell & Fairchild?? they is gonna

call it---


Farewell Honeychild!!





I was gonna use dem aluminum fittins, but I was gonna use some a dem
soft copper 37 degree gaskets, do de werk?
