Thanks Todd, yea the gas would kill the deal. Map doesn't get any hotter than propane. Still looking for acetylene.

Mapp is hotter

Mapp gas produces a flame temperature of 5301° F (2927° C) and 2405 Btus.

The maximum adiabatic flame temperature a propane torch can achieve with air is 2268 kelvins (1995 °C/3623 °F)

There's no clearance between the front nose and fender for a steering-head stand to get in there without hitting. They all have the pin sitting at about 45°. I need to bend the pin up about 20° to use it.

It's a front end stand that uses a pin that goes into the steering head and lifts from there so you can do forks as well as wheels.

Oh, I understand what you're talking about now.If you wanted to come out to Johnstown, my dad has an oxy/acetylene torch I'm sure you could use.

Bite the bullet and buy it, youll use again.

Thanks a million, Josh! The angle was perfect, I chopped 5/8" off, broke the edges and polished it. It works just like planned. The acetylene got it so hot a couple taps with a carpenter's hammer was all the persuading it needed - that shit is nuclear hot!

Sorry to hear about your pup. If you're anything like me you'll be sad forever. Let us know when you get another Golden - can't wait to meet 'em.

Outstanding! I'm glad it worked and that I could help you out. Actually I'm sad cuz I wanted to buy it off you :lol: j/k

It's gonna be awhile before I have the time and money for a dog. And my parents said they are done with anymore animals but I'll let you know when we do.
