Fabrication Steps

  • Thread tape is necessary between each connection unless otherwise stated.
  • Always wrap thread tape clockwise when facing the threaded portion.
  • Always keep the end caps on hoses and fittings until you need to take them off. They need to stay protected inside.
  1. Clamp the motor in a vise so that the side opposite the shaft is facing up.
  2. Remove the plug and install the SAE 4 adapter. This connection (and any others with an o-ring in general) doesn't need thread tape. Remove from vise.
  3. Clamp the Tee in the vise and tighten the 1/2" nipples on each side of it.
