Custom build of a Kenworth C509 as autralian roadtrain

[gismow]

Hi..

At the weekend I found some King Hauler parts and I decided to use the air filters for the C509, but they must be modified, because it must have air pipes with air entry parts (I don't know the englisch word) on the level of the roof of the cab. The pipes shown on the pictures are not the final part.

I only have 8mm brass tubes and 6mm round full brass rods. So I created 2 pieces that will be soldered on both sides of the pipe.

To get the holes centered in the rod, I took a piece of the 8mm pipe to get the drill centered. On one side I made a 3mm thread, on the other side a 4.5mm hole to place the "nose" of the air entries in.







After that I started to assemble the parts.









Final position (please keep in mind, the pipes will be longer in the final version.







Later I will remove the chrome, all "chrome parts" will get the same color.

That's it for today.
