I milled some wrench flats on the part outside of the air cleaner and screwed in a brass barbed elbow fitting for the hose. Inside, a clevis pin and washer is safety wired to keep the new elbow fitting from coming out. I also used nut retainers and safety wire to bolt on the VAFM. The fitting I made for it also seals that area, unlike the elbow supplied by Downey.

I would forget about welding this thing. I did some machining to it to make it fit and it had lots of small voids in it. The casting is a little on the mediocre side.

I really like that set up. Could I pay you to reproduce these parts?

I typed it correctly, JC. LC sells the Total Chaos kits which are similar, but different. Thanks for the compliment
