 Ah, this sounds like a sitcom whose pilot I should write and send to NBC - "Life With Lavery". There's a lot of eating, several practical jokes, and lots of bad hair. - Amanda Morrison [more] |

You can also just search for "foam" there to get a lot of different styles.

Hey... wait... that looks like a LEGAL bumper configuration! You can't post a photo with a legal configuration... we'd have nothing to talk about!
Looks like a nice intake, hope it inhales the balls like a teenager inhales pizza.

In the provided link, there's an in depth welding guide (by Art from 228), but essentially you melt the ends and smoosh them together in a piece of aluminum angle. Let it cool for five (ish) minutes, and you're ready to go!

The heat welded joints in the polycord are holding up just fine so far, although our full speed testing (2200 rpm) has been limited.
