Here is a spread of Clippard parts used for the balanced air brake system.
In an effort to save money I decided to cut brakes from a ring of aluminum purchased from McMaster-Carr. The pipe has a 4 inch inside diameter and a 6 inch outside diameter.
A 1/2 inch width of the aluminum pipe was parted off on the lathe. Here it has been blued and marked for cutting.
