True confessions... the one pictured was a failure. It was my first attempt and did not use the SS wool but rather a wee plastic filter from Sick Bike Parts... narrower than most and fit inside there. I had made the quarter inch pipe soldered to each end extend inside a bit so that I could fit a short section of hose to it and to the filter and the same at the other end... then I soldered it together hoping there would not be too much heat to incinerate the plastic inside. It leaked, so I rethought it, made a second one which is shorter and uses the SS wool inside so that it isn't a shroud, but is an actual filter. It works. Of course I had to buy a ten foot roll of SS wool, so it isn't cheap by any means, but it does look like I wanted it to and I have enough SS wool left for another thousand bikes. I realized later that the first one would have worked had I not soldered it, but instead tapped a small hole to use a very small brass bolt to hold the sections together. There would have been no heat and it would have worked. I'll send a photo later of the second version in actual use (the short one with SS wool inside). I'm glad you like it. Now I'll be able to point out with pride on your wonderful build... "see that little gas filter there?... that's a Silverbear SS fuel filter." Ha! This stuff is so much fun. I will no doubt be borrowing an idea or two from your build, so thanks in advance.
