ongoing project !!!!

After 6 long years of hunting and searching for 1-5" matching radius 316L stainless bends, I've finally figured out who paid for all that tooling.. Also betting there's a guy over around Hershey PA who can build some nasty jacketed tail pipes...

Milton Hershey

I sure hope he spent a ton on tooling.. LOL.

They say he mastered milk chocolate. Spend a couple days there, and you'll soon learn he actually mastered milking humans... They get $50 for one big Hershey bar, and $15 parking to get in the door to buy it.. He can afford 316L..

I used to haul raw milk there back in the day . Any dairy processor has miles of stainless tubing of different diameter.

Food industry or sanitary fittings if I recall, are much of the smaller high grade SS stuff I've used over the years. But once ya get up into that 3" diameter and larger, finding matching radius bends of 1" or 1/2" increments becomes almost impossible. So whenever I spot nice jacked SS work outside of the marine world, always checking out the hardware. And the workmanship.. As one can never know too many good stainless welders...

Wrapped up bilge paint today. Same guy who painted it five years back, painted it again. Brightened things up a bit. But now I have to paint the hatch again..

Next to find those edge rolled aluminum side panels I made up and never installed.

Has anyone used a l5p yet I was looking at getting my bravo ones build a max machine work with 1.36 gears and shoot for about 500 to 600hp

Not that I'm aware of.
Up until recently the L5P was hard to stand alone the electronics. But that's since been resolved. So shouldn't be any more difficult than the older models now.

Baldur’s control from Iceland could work well to L5P. They make common rail standalone engine management systems that are really good and fair price.
mercedes tuners in Finland use a lot of them.
