today's fun, make sure the top doesn't blow off at 150.... like it started to...

inserts

and glue

and the hardest part is drilling in the acrylic
ultimately success came from a slightly smaller hole, heating the insert so it'd thread in, then backing it out a bit and stuffing epoxy in the outside threads

that ain't goin' nowhere.
in other news, new toy
I also finished up the rack install - I took pictures of the parts needed to reduce the pressure (rack needs 800 psi max, hydroboost can handle 1100 and the pump puts out 1350 - now 800)
of course the camera failed... I'll report back after driving it... I also lowered the front and aligned it. will drop the rear down as well... pictures of that part later
