David,
Thanks for the information. Back in my days of engine building/drag racing, you could find those darn brass freeze plugs at every auto store in town! Which is why I was so surprised when I couldn't find them anymore. It would've saved me many hours of frustration and it was an excellent idea for a guy like me without a lathe.
The good thing about all that searching and frustration-I learned how to make domes myself and I'm confident now I can build about any type. We'll see as I progress through different projects. My method isn't the most time effective, but I get the job done.
Again, thank you for the great idea. Should have dome pictures up tomorrow night, I ran out of solder so no pics tonight.
