Stop in for a cup of coffee
Hoppy and Bride are on their way home. As for the Hoppy ride it was a total PIA. No matter what tool I tried or how hot I got the pipe and the O2 sensor it would not budge. Almost cut it in half with an air hammer trying to get it out even. Finally decided we would drill a new hole in the pipe nearby and put in a new 0'2 bung. Problem was we did not have a bung. So I fabricated a new O2 sensor bung. I took a large nut that looked to be around 18 mm. I cut it down smaller than it was initially. Then I locked it in the vise and I drilled it out to a larger size and tapped it with an 18 mm spark plug chaser. I cut a new hole in the exhaust pipe and welded in the fabricated '02 bung. Close enough to the old ones at the wiring reached. I told Hoppy not to tell anyone who welded it in there. We were each about 12 or 13 beers deep during this operation. After all of that fishing. LOL..
