this is how they look in pieces
bought these for the nipples on the filters. Just painted them copper. Think they will look bomb
Not really, it might just be a random peice of metal.
how's that for helping
Nice work, I'm also going the lawnmower filter route myself. Did yours have a metal screen that you removed? I got two clearance filters from walmart @ $7 each- but they have screens. I thought I could muscle them apart- but no! They are pretty well bonded. I was going to take off one endcap and put on a slightly larger end,splaying out the filter paper to give it a more tapered illusion. I guess I'll see about that after dremel cutting off the screens.
Also I got a vinyl version of this back rest pillow, that I'm hoping I can make a passable breather bladder out of with minimal modification and painting. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays...et000&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n
Cool. Also if anyone is still needs the grey hoses- walmart has the washer drain hose for less than $10 I believe. Already grey. Luckily, I stumbled upon some genuine hoses at one of several ARMY NAVY SURPLUS stores that I browsed. But If my cobbled together bendy red spouts don't work out for the black hoses, I may get one and paint it black. Red bendy spouts are 50 cents each.
