should i make my own adapter plate for my teo4h to hf manifold or should i invest in one that is already made ( i wanna try to make my own cuz i dont have $60 to buy one)

you could spend that much on making your own. unless you get the hook-up on materials.

AgentMurdoc

if you got the resources make your own, at HMT saving money is what it's all about

i built my first two plates and after a million cuts and tons of swearing they were still shitty. heres my first one, only paid 5 bux..

my skillz suck but what do u expect if all u got is a drill and a dremel? my second was a bit better but for the 40 bux that BMC charges its money well spent.

AgentMurdoc

Holy ---- renr, you got mad talent. I like how you wanted to be unique and not follow the ways of the world and make your 'circle' a rounded jagged square :P

But where dis you get that hunk of metal from? I wanna try... maybe if my lazy *** will get up.

RENR

actally it was in my garage. i paid five bux to get it cut in half. man those were the early HMT days...

It can work out well for you, goto a welding metal supply place and pick up a piece of scrap.

Then you will need a drill press, drill bits, dremel, circle saw kit and some patience. Anything is possible.

AgentMurdoc

haha no ----? That's even better, find a piece of metal use it. :P I'm surprised you paid five bucks to cut it in half... I woulda pulled out the ole grinder and grind that ---- in half.

i have all the resources and i am very good with fabrication and i only paided $5 for a foot of 1/4 hot rolled steel......im just gonna give it a try and if it dont work out ill just buy the adapter plate form BMC

Hardest part is going to be making that hole and then port matching it. I use to use a Big drill press that would go down real slow like 115rpm's and a good metal hole saw. Or.. (its sloppy) get a torch and just blow a hole in the ******, it takes way longer to port it because the edges look like ----. But I agree I'd do it yourself..
