The last piece of the puzzle on the new truck! This sight glass was missing from the air compressor and it is nowhere near a regular size you can find anywhere. The correct part number is $200 and over a month lead time.
“It’s not about what you know it’s sometimes about who you know.”
Got in touch with the only guy I’d trust to TIG weld this and we welded a b**g in it that is pipe thread inside. Now for the rest of this compressors time I can get a NPT plug or sight glass at ease and be done!
Shout out to Nitro’s Fab Lab for the quick and beautiful work as always! Now the new truck has a functioning air compressor and can go to jobs with confidence that if we need air, we’ll have it!
