Re: All the talk about rules.....
Hey Chuck, hope to see everyone in Atlanta. I had to stay home and shovel snow?????????? I was packed and leaving, my wife said, (Have you seen the weather? You should leave tonight.) But who listens to their wife (the guy with no beer and a loud generator). So everyone, listen to your wife, drink beer, get a smoke stack, play nice, and dont dump your oil on the ground!

I did make one mistake in the above posting and realized it when I went to take the pictures today and that was in the size of the plastic pipe. I used 4" pipe and not 3". Sorry but I was working off of memory and I am old and feeling it some days. The flange is a heating duct from Lowes along with a 4X6 reducer then the 4" plastic pipe. I did rivet the hanger at the top of the trailer to the stainless hose clamp at the top. If you do not the heating and cooling of the plastic pipe the bracket will come loose and the pipe will fall off. I had this problem once before installing the rivet.

Re: All the talk about rules.....
Great, helps a lot. Do you attach it to the generator somehow?

would say if that tin was attached to the gen it would sound like a skeleton dancing on a tin roof. It's a neat solution though.Nice engineering.

The bottom of the box has a piece of alum sheet metal pop riveted to the bottom that hangs over the handle on the generator. If you look at the bottom picture from the side you can see the lip that hangs down. The box itself has a gap of a half of an inch or so all around and pulls a little cool air in as the generator runs. The generator hardly moves even when running and has worked well for me for the two years I have run it. The only problem I have had with it is the top bracket came loose as I mentioned in the post but a pop rivet to the stainless hose clamp fixed that. Thanks for the comments on the engineering. Being retired I have time to tinker sometimes and this project was one of those times. Last edited by 63corvette; 02-22-2010 at 09:59 PM. Reason: added info |
