Terry Farrell </BLOCKQUOTE> Sorry this was unclear, my initial plan was to weld up a framework to hold t= he rim/soundboard assembly with supports for the hoses, but during initial t= esting I clamped a number of hardwood 2 by 8's to the bottom of the rim, and= from there I supported short pieces of 2 by four "sleepers" to lay the hose= on. I used lots of machinist's jacks for the support between the hardwood&n= bsp; and the sleepers (have you noticed how these posts sometimes sound lik= e old 20's technical books because of their lack of profuse illustrations al= so ?) anyway, this rinky-dink assembly groaned and bowed but held up so I us= e it now as standard. Long ago I welded up literally a twelve foot long c-cl= amp/truss to stick down bridges in lieu of a go-bar deck, so I am now reluct= ant to stock up on the big weldment jigs. I store that one outside now ! For= taps you might make one to fit the hose end, but remember to make one end o= f the hose small enough to fit tight spots ! Glenn C.</HTML>
