Drill and weld one, or drill tap and screw one in. Make sure it's oil tight, I think that passage for it may go thru the inside of the snout. Or maybe not.

Steve, for the record, after I designed and started building them, I never quite got into regular production, because like I said, life got in the way. However, jigs, fixtures, and other proto's and other things are done, just need to tweak a few things. PM me your address, I'll send you a pamphlet....

Jeeze I forgot to send mine in like 8 years ago. Just think of all I missed.

Troy LOL

KRB, none here at all.

Lance, more on the wheel later. Been postboned because life got in the way. lol

I saw a video once that explained how they did that. Don't remember all of it, but they shored up the walls as they went down, then curbed it on the way up. Around here they used bricks or stone, even though we don't have stone.

I don't like this section! Everyone thinks I'm nearly perfect, and to post a mistake would tarnish my image. HAHAHAHAHA Had a little 6 ft WB on the stand almost finished, and I dropped the thing. Got lucky though, only broke the top hinge tab off. A little nickel rod, and almost good as new. Almost.

You're welcome Jerry. Glad I could help all this time.

That is SHARP!

You guys that take on projects like this got larger onions than me, that's for sure. lol
