.45 shell casing for cracking main jet tower
« on: December 28, 2011, 06:49:57 pm »
My main jet tower was cracking and was told about the .45 shell casing trick.

Well I thought I'd post up an easy way on how to cut the shell casing. All you need is a vice, bolt, and a hacksaw.










There was carbon build up inside the casing.


After some 80 grit sand paper


600 grit
