Hi, haven´t been here for a while. As for the pressure needed, i don´t exactly know, but i guess 100-120 Bar will do. The sheet metal is 1mm thick and intended for deep drawing. Less prone to cracking! A wise thing to add is a air bleeding screw, located as far away from the inlet as possible. This technique is quite simple and time effective and for the majority of us DIY´ers, i would say the accuracy is good enough.

@Cstrife234 ...how ironic is it that you chose to make this statement on the INTERNET of all places? lol.

i dont have a pressure washer but could prob use a torch on the welded steal and a air compressure with pressure limit control valve.i too did learn somthing today . i got a mini quad converted 196 from 70cc.

@maxkuznetsov123456 an other way to do it ? I only know to bild these pipes of manny little parts. but thats much work!

@charlesandkellyb I would imagine it was TIG welded together.

Seeing that pressure washers were not intended to be operated in this manner, could the back pressure possibly be bad for the pump?

Someone else asked and I will repeat the question... How did you weld the edges? I would really like to know!
