TD-443 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ready to have your minds blown? A few of you know I've been working on a BTTF time machine build (www.whatthehellisagigawatt.com) well guess what part a time machine and T-21 share? Ladies and gentlemen for your viewing pleasures, I present to you "THE ORANGE TUBE"!!!!! http://www.deloreane...ile.php?id=3386 http://www.deloreane...ile.php?id=3387 http://www.deloreane...ile.php?id=3388 http://www.deloreane...ile.php?id=3389 So now your asking where do I get one of these tubes, right? Off of one of these: http://www.deloreane...ile.php?id=3390 They're made by Arrowhead Products and is a reinforced non-metallic silicone duct. They were originally used as an air intake duct on some Sikorsky S58 helicopters Part number S1630-80391-1 National Stock Number (or NSN) which can be used to find these from online parts supplier's is: 4720-00-609-3125 Happy hunting troopers... They're not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hey Eddie, how are you doing bro... Just wondering, besides the look (that is really close) are you saying that thet part is actually what we see on t21s used on ANH? Can you provide any proof of that? This might be an awesome finding... I know Gino claimed to know what exact part was used for the t21 ribs, but also denied to share it with the general public... so. Saludos!

DirtyBoy Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Def cool....might have to stick to rubber tubes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-443 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Im 100% positive. ILM was picking parts for star wars and Back to the Future at the same place and no one has came up with anything else close. if you count the ribs there the same and also the gaps between the ribs as it goes further up the barrel is exactly the same.

trooper1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Very Cool my friend!!!! And the count is correct. Interesting find for sure. Oh, glad to see you back as well!!!!! You have been missed my friend. Would be nice to find one to get a mold off of. Shoot guys are so talented now a days, we could make silicone or latex parts easy enough off of one of these!!!
