Title: **Master-Touch/Performer Ash Catcher Bars? - Won't be needing them anymore!**
Post by: swamprb on October 24, 2015, 03:01:43 PM
Oh yeah! I wanna keep the old style ash can assembly too!

#7409 One Touch Ash Sweeps got you down??

Won't be stressing over looking for those either!

Here's what I'll be doing from now on. 3"x2" aluminum cut into 3 strips.

grind one end to a V and bend to fit under leg socket.

1/8" pop rivet through ash can holder

Install a new set of #7444 Sweeps

NEXT!

That is an awesome little mod. I'll be stealing that idea👍

Wow this is a great mod! I really hate how the old style MT ash catchers wobble around this looks like a great solution.

I'll likely be doing this on my Performer as well.

The pop rivets are aluminum and barely noticeable on the outside ring. The ring basically rests on the bottom of the bowl and the tabs hold it very tight with absolutely no wobble unlike the bar.

I am much cruder than my friend swamprd - I just hose-clamped the ash-ring to the leg-stubs.  A little more visible but not much.  8)

I broke off the part of the tabs that sticks into the leg mounts, drilled and pop riveted.  Love the 2015 Ash catcher.
