What was the measurements for that cut. Saw a few like that and would like to cut mine the same way

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

Are you talking about the bottom cut? For the throat?

[@Jacob-bk4md]

@@thesteamfittersgarage3098 yes

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

@@Jacob-bk4md I’ll have to check tomorrow, I left my hood at work over the weekend. I’ll see if I can get it for you after work.

@@thesteamfittersgarage3098 thank you!!

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

@@Jacob-bk4md looks like I did different measurements on the last 2 I have done. The one from the video was about 2” from the center of the throat and tapers out to a point to about 1/16”. The other has the same taper but I took about 2-1/2” to a taper. Guess it depends on your chin. But if you are adding leather even if you cut it short you are still fine. I have seen guys cut them completely across about 2” above and below the lens window. Lots of room for custom but the top measurement is more important to keep arc rays out. Hope this helps bud.

Where did you get the flip front adapter?

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

On Amazon for about $20 US

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

I think the brand is Sellstrom

[@FahrenheitMetalworks]

I put the flip front on my pipeliner and now one of the bottom corners of my hood is all flexed out like the hood is warped. When I put the front on it seemed like it wasn't a great fit to the original shape of the hood to begin with. Have you had any problems with that? If so, how did you fix it?

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

Sounds like the hole you cut out may be too small, you want it snug but it does need room to freely move without being jammed up.

[@CadenBehel-l6r]

What is the top cut measurement?

[@JacquiQLee-kd4rt]

Great job! This is masculine domestication!

What is the brand of your welsing cap?

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

Some of the ones in the videos were made by people who don’t make them anymore.

[@javiozuna]

Whats that tool you used called

[@thesteamfittersgarage3098]

The cutting tool was a Dremel with a cutting disc, they are just small end grinders. If you have never used one I strongly suggest wearing eye and face protection.

[@TulanePass]

Bad ass!
