yep, also ordered a 36 inch long sight glass to put a level gauge on my burner fuel tank. pic's when the stuff arrives.

Whats funny is that M/C offers in their catalog the sight glass for the oilers but not the body, what I ordered for bodies are 2 inch diameter by 2 inches tall

been working on the oilers trying to finish up the little things like drilling a 1/16" hole in a 5/32" rod and making rivets out of .062 stainless tig rod but we're getting close to closing this project out.

now if I can just remember where I layed the other one down at I'll be doing ok. Smiley-dancenana

Looks good David. Thumbsup

here's a shot with both of them on the shaper, the one on the far side still needs a filler port, but otherwise they are pretty much done. springs are a little weak but I can pickup some in town tomorrow when I go in.
