I like how they butchered the brace to make it fit, but then still used a zip tie and a hose clamp.

I tried to throw an offer at this seller, but they don't accept offers under $100, so I think I'm priced out for this one.

So, the bell’s been rolled out after somebody did the Mexican Hat Dance on it. Gotta hand it to them. Certainly did improve the overall cosmetics! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It would be interesting, assuming a mouthpiece fits well and they are no leaks, if it ends up being better than the original lead pipe! :laugh:

Well, it is now a “floating” lead pipe, for added resonance. And it appears to be pure copper, so no red rot! After all, no zinc, no de-zincification!

non-sarcastic comment:
