Looking for curved Brass Bung/flange for 55 gallon barrel

I know I have one but finding it will take some time. I move slow and the snow is deep and getting deeper. When I locate it I'll get a hold of you. I live in Alaska so you pay the shipping and it is yours. Another option is my wife and I are going to snowbirding next winter and we go through YT Ca., BC Ca., Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona then shoot over to Oklahoma to see some friends. If you can't wait that long or I'm not going to be in your area I can just ship it to you. If my memory servers, and it's been slipping a lately, it is a curved brass slid-over spout it has never been used it is just dusty, there is no box so it might have some patina and a ding or two, added character.

if you can find it, let me know, I'll take it. Sounds like what I need. I can send you the money for shipping. I'm with a museum in Missoula.

Sounds good, I been going through the parts room BC "before coffee" - :frusty:not advisable.

Hi Scott,
when we restored the boss's Thirty we had to make a tank from the factory drawings.
That was back in 1998-ish, I feel that I used brass Flanged Back Nuts plumbing fittings from a local hardware/plumbing store.
If I recall I machined off the hex and shaped/curved the rear flange face some to replicate the tank curvature.

For the filler/breather cap/plug flanges we used similar flanges but, alas what back nuts we could get were very light on for metal and we left the multi faced nut flats on for strength and gently peened and ground a sort of curve to the rear faces of the flanges for fit to the tank curvature. The tank maker fitted our supplied flanges and they likely have a deal of solder filling the gaps where needed at the lower ends of the flange to tank joints--so far so good due to the flanges also being riveted as per drawings--machine is now currently stored some 120 miles away and not available for viewing until next Lake Goldsmith Rally at end of April to view and refresh this tired grey matter.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

If none available, I was looking at the generic stamped and forged flanges on surpluscenter and thought that you could build the flange up with weld and then grind it back down to shape fairly easily. They're weld-on flanges

I've been looking for your brass bung no luck yet but I have found everything I have been looking for, for the past year. I'll have to start looking for something other then the brass bung - that way I'll trip over it.
I did find this brass valve so I might be getting close. I'm sorry it is taking so long but I am just now getting back out in the shed after a ten year medical sabbatical and nothing seems to be where I left it.

Still no bung but I did take a picture of my lovely wood/shop shed haha. The path is getting harder to trek each day.
the lines are my paths. if it is in the connex I'm not going to be able to get to it for a month or more
