dl456 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hello, Anybody have a source for the 5/8 round sight glass lense on the carburetor. I have made two, but I prefer not to make another if something is available. Thought about Lexan but I don't know how it would hold up to the fuel over time. Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I think he needs a 5/8 diameter , flat disk of glass rather than 5 / 8 glass tubing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Machine tools use oil level glass about that size. I'll let your fingers do the google walking among machine tool re-builders. Failing that, McMaster lists sight glass discs down to 1". Diamond discs and/or wheels are dirt cheap from Ebay or Amazon and will make short work of that job .................bob Edited January 11, 2023 by Bhigdog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl456 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Thanks guys, I have some of the 1” discs and that’s what I did before. I was hoping they might be available. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
