The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VI

Good Morning weekend early-birds!

I made major progress last night fitting my 4" to 2" reducers into my brake ducts.

After spending weeks trying to find a machine shop willing to deal with such a small, odd job, including even a very generous offer from forum member Rusty, I realized I could just do it myself.

The piece I was trying to get turned is about five inches long. There was no way I could evenly turn it down with a Dremel tool. However, when I cut it down to about 3/4 of an inch, it was easy. The adapter will be glued into the duct anyway, so it's final length is irrelevant.

I did the first one last night while watching the Tour de France in the den. Let's just say it's a good thing mrs. gurney is out of town this week or I probably wouldn't be here to type this right now. There was black plastic dust everywhere in spite of laying down a large tarp to work on. Today's work will be happening in the garage.

Z crew BBQ today. Looks to ge a great day.

Good luck with the auto x ms. bc. LOVE the new hair cut!

Have fun guys!
