[TheForge] Sidearm Burner Parts

Wed Jan 15 20:28:00 2003

Well Ive found everything except the 1/8" pipe that the mig tip screws into.
1/8 and even 1/4 inch pipe doesnt seem to even exist here in south
Australia, amazing for a place that is supposed to be the engineering
capitol of Australia. I thought of using brake line but the wall is too
thin, anyone got any suggestions, 1/2" with a reducer for the tip might work
I suppose.
