Lead Loading for the Purist

For those DIY enthusiast’s that want to replicate original panel jointing with lead instead of Bondo filler here’s a little tool I found at Harbor Freight that has helped me a lot. Additionally I sourced a connector hose from my local Krap-Mart, Camping Section. Their web site had a more generous supply of hoses/lengths to choose from if you need a longer hose…

You can connect this little gem to a LP bottle ( I used a 20# from the grill) and Lead-load until your hearts content. I found the self-igniter especially nice.

I believe the model is TS4000 with a Harbor Freight SKU: 91061. For $20 bucks you can’t go wrong.

Stay Well and Happy Trails,

Dick

Nice. Thanks for the tip.

Yep, a trigger and an autostart valve/starter are pretty handy.
