Bill, I might have given you some wrong info. The 2" tubing should be the
same OD as the filler assy. It is welded to the assy. to make it longer for
better clamping of the filler rubber hose. The flange on the filler assy.
goes on the ouside of the windshield. You might need a 2 1/8 or 2 14' piece
of tubing or bend one up from .050.

Thanks, all, for your replies. I'm giving the subject serious
head-scratching.
Question: Should 4130 be bent cold or heated.
Thanks,

Bill, Depends on what your bending, I used square 4130
for my windshield frame bent cold. Most stuff like
flattening tubes are easily bent cold, but if it's
really close to a weld you might as well heat it up
cause when you weld near anything bent cold it will
change shape.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Does anyone know where Fred's (Stuebner) tailwind is now that He built in the early
60's or where He is living now. He built it when He was in Chicago and then
sold it and moved to NY at that time, I believe.. George......Phoenix
