Yes, always try to shorten SBB-FWaP first and try to make FWaP-BB as long as possible. >Another option is to redesign the SBB<-->FWaP connection to >something more like the letter "U" (bottom of the "U" is the > SBB, sides are the 40x10 tubes). If there is still enough space left for the fender - this might be a solution. >What size torch tip(s) would be best for welding a python >with an oxy-acetylene torch (assuming that I followed the >plans)? I have a size 6 tip -- I'm not sure if tip sizes are >standardized or not -- it's a Purox torch. I used a MAG welding machine. A german oxy-acetylene torch used for 1 to 2 mm thick steel has the tip number 2. So this might be different from yours. Anyway - good luck for your project.
