The Team that Helped _ We worked on 2 Hard Pipes to be Built . 1 Actually sold for $325 + Shipping ..one I Kept other _ ( I Refunded ) 100%

Pictures are : OE Style SS 304 Hard Pipe for AWD 2.25 Dia.

85 % Done , Lay Out , etc. $200.00 in Materials . Then BAM Home Sold , Extra Wheels Volvo Sold , Closing on New Home 5 States Away - Bam - Slammed ..

Everything got Packed up & Moving Process Started . Second AWD Pipe almost got Completed . It will do Either K04 or K16 . . Here it is : Thick Walled Certified SS ..
Not Connected , To Enhance Final Fit Up .. Ease . .

Ha, You either Do Little Fab or Have someone that does Fab - either way - This 1 travels the OEM Route with some Straightening , Larger ID & Smoother and Longer Bends ..

A Few Thin Blade Slices allows for Tweaking the Angels 2-4 degrees as Final Welds are done . 7 Cuts and Welds are already done 85% done .
No Tools in TN , set up My Wood Shop which a I have 5K in Tools . . to Finish Up Retirement Home . .

The Volvo Purchaser , Owner of AWD in the Mean While had Traded His Volvo Larger family .. The SS Hard Pipe _ along with several other Volvo Items got stuff in Large Canvas Bag
Totally forgotten about : I Just Happen to be Cleaning out My Garage Materials Originally Cost $318 , Today that will cost $348.00 Cert. SS 304 Material .

If Anyone is Looking to do a 1 Off Easy Way , Completely Bespoke . ( Here ya go )

Howdy - have Not been here for awhile Been Over on Houzz ..

Nice of You to Ask - I have What You see in the Photo's It is More like 90% Done , but I sold My V50 - It needs to be Fitted Checked and Tweaked then Final Welding in ( two - three places . . )
I left it this way , so it could be Used for Either Or K16 or K04 . . Heavy GA. Stainless Steel at Least Min. $200.00 just for the Material . Shipping should be around $37.00 It is Not Lightweight - likely around 11-12 lbs - Depending ..
I have many left over pcs. You or Welder could used for Practice . . Set Up . .

( Lawrence's English Garden ) just Posted up some small Projects on Houzz , https://www.houzz.com/pro/lawrenceenglishgarden/lawrences-english-garden

This SS Hose Set Up will be Better for ( Normal Grd. Clearances ) - which needed in the Mountains . .

Hard Pipe 1 Million Mile Kit is Gone . .

There is Just Enough Left Pipe to make 1 Short Run like the one I did which does effect Grd. Clearance - ( Make Offer for Material . )

There is : 2.255 Dia. has 2.130 ID
1 -180 degree Long
1- 45 Degree Long
1- 90 Degree Long
1- 21" Straight

10 Lbs pf SS - Million Mile 304 Pipe .. I'm Thinking 50% Off . . Material .

It's Just Raw Pipe and Few Extra small Pcs to be Test Pcs for Set Up ( Like to Weld or Cutting )
Cutting this SS .060 is Not as Easy as You would Think it could be on 5 hp Band Saw .. as it like to catch .
so I always Placed a Round Pc. of Wood inside pipe to Cushion the Cutting & Act as ( Aniti- Pipe Bent ) Safety Control .
Also Used a Heavy Vise .. Now that said - Cutting by Hand would be an Option . . ( I didn't have a Water Jet ) in My Area ..
Certainly anyone with a Granite Counter Cutter Stone - Shop would Cut this Stuff Like Butter - Leave No Burrs !

Also anyone with a Local High School that has a Boces - Metal Shop - a few 20"s as Donation Go Long way to ( Getting Major Help ! )

This would be Link for the Hose Required to Run K16 Set Up - Hose that went with Kit for K04 Set Up ..
