Zoomie Caps
« on: June 11, 2008, 09:57:43 AM »
Anyone out there know where a person could get pre-made zoomie caps to fit over 2 1/8 inch pipes. Looking to either buy or build a set if none are out there.
Thanks 8-)

I used rubber balls with a small rope thru them. I have seen caps and one piece covers as well. Not hard to make.

racquet balls or hand balls---no ROPEs---its fun to watch them launch when you fire it off

I can tell you from experience not to whip up anything on the lathe out of wood, especially if you might happen to go through a rain storm on the way to an event! :-(

You might Google Dan Olson's business in Fresno, Ca area- maybe Sanger- he does  a lot of boat/drag stuff and it's HIGH QUALITY!

No BS, yrs truly built a pair of those for personal use last weekend and it was a 4 hr job!

I use nerf balls from Wal-Mart. However my exhaust is 3" diameter, zoomie headers are probably smaller in diameter. I don't know is there are smaller nerf balls made. Don't no nothin about nothin at all.
