Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55

It is definitely thicker than the sides. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,963 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,963 | Unless you especially want to make something yourself, they make repops that have the siffners already in them. There is a guy who sells them on eBay. He lists them ever so often. Here's one I bought recently and I am well pleased with it and all the other parts I have bought from him. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350248482612&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT They are galvanized so I wear a supplied air helmet when I weld them.
