Well, I finally got my testor made. The thing works absolutely fantastic. I
used a new Larin 4 ton bottle jack. I removed the top nut and ram. I had a
piece of 3/16 steel flat welded over the top of the center pipe and a weld to
plug the top bleed hole on the jack. I drilled and tapped the top piece of
flat to NPT. I added the appropriate fittings to tee to a 4,000 psi gauge and
injector line. I used an old line, cut it, and flared it to a 1/4" flare. All
parts included probably $30-$35 USD. That is not including the welding if
one does not have a welder (or a friend with one), or the flaring tool for $15.
The jack has the valve to release the pressure, which is a nice safety
feature. The welded on top I left a little big, and it holds the outside tube/fluid
reservior in place. Slicker'n snot IMHO. I'll try to get Shawn to post pics
on his site. If anyone else wants pics sent all you gotta do is ask.
