- | The shoulder of the casing was cut off with a bolt epoxied into it. ((photos by DaytonaSportster of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1182952&page=3)) \\ | + | Here, a brass woven mesh sheet was cut and bent as an insert for the top hole in the rocker box (excluding models with dual plugs heads). \\ |
+ | The full sheet is unpolished, mill finish, ASTM E2016-06, 12“ width, 12” length, 0.025“ wire diameter, 54% open area). \\ | ||
+ | Measure the opening and add some on each side to fold down for sides. \\ | ||
+ | The first bend is simple. The second bend is just as simple but once you have two opposing sides you need a bender the right size. \\ | ||
+ | The back of the vise worked well. \\ | ||
