Banjo fitting!
Sorry for the late reply.
It's all good. The reason it ended up tilted back in the first place is because the stock bumper on the truck is all messed up from a parking lot collision the previous owner had, so it wasn't a reliable baseline for me to use. So what I used as a baseline for the new bumper was the plane of the bumper nostril openings. What I didn't realize when doing this is that those openings aren't vertical, they are actually slanted forward at the top. So because of that, my "mouth" ended up slanted back at the bottom, which isn't what I intended. I think by making it vertical as intended I will gain the clearance I need and also make it look as intended. In that same vein of thought - I have started to think that I'm not loving how some of the surround parts turned out, so I think I'll be reworking the designs on those anyway. It's all an evolution and to Will's point - do it once and do it right and make sure you're happy with it, even if it means re-doing some of it. It's all a learning process.
Are you saying my bumper has a real purdy mouth......or........you want my bumper to squeal like a pig???
Oh I see, they extended it out. I was looking for a grill they had extended down or up. Got it now.
That works well w/GMC grill but the Chevy grill no can do......
Dueling banjo fittings! But seriously, that size of banjo fitting would flow plenty well and would sit flush with the end tank and give you a 90° turn in the space of the hose's diameter and can be rotated to provide any orientation of hose routing necessary.Are you saying my bumper has a real purdy mouth......or........you want my bumper to squeal like a pig???
I see what you're saying here. I'm afraid I'd lose a lot of airflow in that configuration though. Moving it up and back like that would put it pretty close to the plastic panel that seals the bottom of the engine compartment and I feel like that would choke airflow through the heat exchanger. Yes, probably still better than where it was before when it was under the truck, but not as much as if it's right out front in the open. Since I use the truck as my dd right now, I will be able to see how vulnerable it will be where I am putting it, and if it is vulnerable I will definitely report back with that info.
Yeah, that's a neat idea I will definitely keep in my back pocket. I didn't know they made banjo fittings that big to be honest. I'll have to do some searching and see what I can find.
I was wondering that too. I haven't started looking for fittings yet.
That's just car designer tom-foolery. It's supposed to replicate the look of the Central Tire Inflation System on a REAL Hummer.
Oh, and thank you!
