Thank you.
That's a pretty big con rod, I wear a 7-7/8" pro fit if that helps at all. It's out of one of the small, 3 cylinder (10" bore) two stage, reciprocating compressors at the refinery I work at. Our big one has a 23" bore.
Nothing too special, I just thought it would make a fun picture and maybe get a laugh out of a couple people. Sometimes people wonder why fuel costs so much... this is why. I just ordered one piston for one of our 18" compressors... $28,000. A new set of rings is about 10k and 3-5 in labor, and another 20-40k in lost profit opportunity, and they only last 2-4 years. Sorry for the derail, a chassis picture to get back on topic.
I know, I know, it looks an awful lot like the last picture I posted, but it represents about 8 hours of planning and fabrication. It's the details like this that make a build like this cost so much, and take so long, yet make me proud enough to share.
Quite the pain in the you know what to get it level and parallel with the tiny little bit of floor that remains. Should make fabricating the new floor a lot easier though.
