My excavator build in slow motion

[mcCracken15]

Luckily when i showed my grandpa at thanks giving, cause he owned a hydraulics shop for years, he had said if you solder them onto the ram then they will worp the bore and they need to be re-honed! I was going to solder them straight to the ram next! Its easier than you think to solder them to, but soldering the main boom lines sucked cause the aluminum was disapating the heat then the solder balled up amd looks crappy now. Paint should hide it a little bit!
