I chose brass because I made the cap one piece than added the barbs, and silver brazes them in. This is why I am giving everyone a lifetime warranty on the caps!
its a little over 3x the cost of a good plastic cap kit, but I WILL our last any plastic cap!
I don’t have a tig welder.
I...
$$$ actually the same price for my brass caps and Justin’s rails... but my caps are in stock! I just give everyone an option if they wanted hose with or use what they like.
I bought a set of the rails when you could choose if you wanted lines or not...didn’t like them!
I had to CUT the...
@IDIoit sorry I didn’t get them done yet... metal compression with 1/4” female pipe so the original brass barb by 1/4” pipe can be reused!
simple yet effective
Hello IDI Enthusiast,
I have listed them on ebay, just getting them out there. I only have 9 of the 1 barb dead end caps and 9 of the tees... so first come first served... @IDIoit and @Selahdoor!
as @IDIoit said $260 for just the caps with o-rings. + 9.00 shipping
kits is $280 + 16.00...
~UPDATE~ Update~ update!!!
Brass bar stock is about 2-3 weeks out from being delivered! 2-3 weeks on machining them, and deburring them. thinking about making about 5 Extra sets to start with (unless More guys want them), To see if it’s worth it for saving time, money and headaches for who...
YES! This is awesome! Fits the whole family and friends with gear in the back!
Now if I can just find the time and money to build what I need and want!
I hear ya! just priced out a R&D built 7.3 with all the goodies for around $10,000!!!
wife says “I want you to have a new truck”
I told her they’re all junk and overpriced
how about I build what I want and make it so you can drive it...also I would rather spend that kind of money for...
I have seen your sweet set ups!
I just finished putting R&D rails on my 94 turbo truck YES lt was the biggest pain in the ass... the passenger side Hit the turbo and filter bracket so I had to cut BOTH ends down and retap them for plugs.
Did you get the aluminum caps from John(adv)?
I didn’t really consider the angle of the barbs like the Mercedes have...
i don’t think guys want to spend more money on re-engineered injectors that would cost more than the truck itself!
Once I get pricing on the bar stock and time it takes to make a set, I hope to make about 25 sets for the first run... if all goes to plan!
trying to do all American made...
Brass, hose and clamps! O-rings will be China molded with USA Viton if I can’t get some from Mexico.
Yes I could make the one barb cap and the Tee cap as well.
Both are mainly for the 7.3idi N/A
That’s one reason why I was asking which way is the perfect way to run the return system, seems like getting rid of the filter head return is a common modification and running under the turbo is...
Yes, I have been thinking on this whole project for a few years, seen two different sets...
one set is like the 6.9 style where the barbs are straight across(180) from each other and 90 degrees from each other in
brass with the barbs silver soldered in.
the other set is like the 7.3 style with...
I was thinking about this the other day, I few factors come into play with making these caps;
which material is better for these caps Aluminum or Brass?
what do you want more aluminum or brass?
What is better...7.3 style caps with side barbs, or 6.9 style cap with centered barbs?
What if...
I have some old line off my 7.3 that’s super thin and cracked on every end that was put on a cap. I cut in clean in the middle and it measures roughly .305...
I put some of my Gates hose “American made” 1/4” hose(4LOC) on one of the 7.3 caps and it was super tight. Fit nicely on the 6.9 cap. The...
I have been reading a lot of threads about how many of you guys like to route there fuel return lines different ways then factory... what is your way?
does it hurt to deadhead one injection like the 6.9 and 7.3t have?
I see the 6.9 have 1/4”(6mm) line with centered barbs off the caps and the...
@Selahdoor yeah it snapped on, the threads catch on the intake screen and are tight on the air cleaner ledge, i held it down too just in case. i thought about unbolting the screen and putting a hole in the cap to hold it down tight... but that was to much work for a quick clean before the tear...
