Oldskool 6,644 #1 Posted January 18, 2022 I made a trade with @ebinmaine a while back for a pile of parts. That is where most of the parts came from to build Hiram. There is still alot of random parts left. It's a shame for them to just sit around. So here goes another parts pile build. This is what I have freed from the ice so far. . 4 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #23 Posted January 19, 2022 Could anyone tell me if a cylinder like this can be easily shortened? I'm thinking by cutting the cylinder sleeve and the outer end of the piston shaft. Then shorten and retread the 4 bolts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #25 Posted January 19, 2022 I can't imagine I couldn't. Maybe it's not as straight forward as it seems, but seems simple enough. I have one I would like to shorten by about 4in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
