What happens here

Since a -16 AN T-fitting is expensive, the creator decides to fabricate a Y-fitting using ICT Billet weld-on bungs and aluminum tubing from The Metal Place. He shows cutting the aluminum pieces to create the "Y" shape, tacking them together, and preparing to weld. He acknowledges the difficulty of cutting precise angles freehand without specialized tools.

Goal: Create a custom Y-fitting for the dry sump lines.

Tools and materials

  • Aluminum Tubing The Metal Place — Main body of the Y-fitting
  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Making initial cuts/holes (implied)
  • ICT Billet Weld-On Bungs ICT Billet — Forming the threaded ends of the Y-fitting
  • Miter Saw — Achieving precise angle cuts (not available to creator for this step)
  • Saw — Cutting aluminum tubing
  • Sharpie Marker — Marking cut lines
  • Welder — Tacking the aluminum pieces together

line but uh to buy a-16 T fitting is like1 something dollars so I'm just going to make one got these weld on bungs from ICT Billet their stuff all the time it's great and got some aluminum from the metal Place essentially I'm making a y in that capacity and trim this one side going to match to the other side and see how far spaced out they are we'll get them welded together and then we'll cut the end off weld all these on I don't know probably doesn't make any sense how I'm explaining that it makes sense in my head and that's what matters because you will you'll see what happens when I'm done that's what this video is for right you're going to see what happens when I'm done well I got them cut and tacked together they're not quite exactly the same looks like this side has a little bit more whatever to it you know just some of that handmade charm I guess without a jig or like a miter saw it'd be pretty hard to cut this equally freehand if anybody has some uh angle
