Victor generator hose connection question

Post by It's Bill » Mon Feb 01, 2021 4:51 pm

Separate question to the concurrent carbide generator thread. What does the hose connection look like on the generator body? My car has the generator but was converted to a tank at some point. My generator has a hole in the side of the bottom tank, but the carbide basket "sleeve" would seem to preclude a threaded connection because it is a close fit and would not leave room inside the tank for any hardware. Was a hose bib soldered into the hole? Any input/ photos appreciated. This is a 1911 car. Thanks, Bill

Any of the nipples I’ve seen on the Victor tanks were simply soldered on.
