I received the oddball rear cylinder from Freeky Geeky this week and I am very pleased with it, I now have a spare cylinder, I guess that means I’m saving it for a future build. Here are the two side by side. The bolt pattern of the oddball is a tiny bit wider than the bolt pattern of the GBfans, I will need to file out one of the mounting holes in the wand body ever so slightly to make it fit.

Since I already started to paint my original rear cylinder I decided to practice the same finishing technique on that one before finishing the oddball, here they are again side by side.

I’ll hopefully get around to mounting the oddball into the wand body this weekend along with moving forward on the pack portion of the build. I need to remove the ion arm and booster to get them ready to receive the Spengler ugly weld. I also need to remove the injector tubes and file off the bottom welds and refinish the paint job now that I have more practice. It feels like I’m taking a step backward, but sometimes you have to undo some previous work to get to what you really want.
