First step was to build the dust excluder assenblies. This is really just installing seals and O rings. Apparently some time during '71, there were two seal designs. One was a conventional pressed-...

Once again thinking over the project, I realized that there is no way to bypass this step, because the native YBR exhaust is too bulky and low. And what is a scrubber without an adequate exhaust? I ha...
