Step 9Make the guts
This was pretty straight forward.
I will explain it LEFT TO RIGHT left being the "top".
I tied a knot about a foot and a half from the left end of the rope then slid a nut on to the left of the knot. I used an old lug nut since the taper would center itself in the neck and give it a better hang.
I took it outside and held it up to the tank making another knot about 4 inches from the bottom of the tank. If you go too high the rope will not have enough throw to allow the clapper to touch the sides before the rope contacts the lip of the chime.
From the right I slid on the clapper, a large retaining nut (the lug nut was too small by itself for the hole in the clapper) and then finally the lug nut. Just a simple knot to hold everything in place.
AT THIS POINT GO TO BED OR FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO BUILD ON INSTRUCTABLES!
SERIOUSLY LET THE PAINT DRY!!!
