Title: Kettle restore...odd leg
Post by: tb80 on June 28, 2015, 07:10:51 PM
Found this leg on an old kettle I plan on restoring. Anyone see a leg like this?  I don't think it is a weber leg but could be wrong. (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/28/a9af45904d4e5d2aa8cc82601fea48e3.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/28/0c3d121a30e842a335b02b2bbd1bcd80.jpg)

By the way it is a c code 1981 weber. (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/28/5deaa8849b7951f9f7469401a9d95b2d.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/28/e2e7a74d8a62f4fbd2dd45f39ee836a3.jpg)

That looks like a broken off leg socket being used as a little foot cap 8)

Or when it broke off they just spun it around and used it as the front leg!

Can you take a picture of the other end?  It's definitely a socket from a kettle but without seeing the other end, impossible to tell if the leg is weber or not.

Thanks

Hummmm,  using another kettles leg socket for a "socket sock" is just WRONG on sooooo many levels  :) :)    SJ

I'll get some more pictures when I get home tonight.  It is a Weber that my dad bought new but it has been sitting out exposed to the elements and not being cleaned so it is in pretty rough condition.  There is even the chance that he cobbled together parts from other Webers as well.  I will probably be asking for some help on how to restore it later.

Few more pics of the leg. Really can't figure out how that leg came to be. (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/29/4a1633ba3a88862b91336b17b192c21f.jpg)
