    edit 1 : Don't think it's what you want... looks like it's from a Q-loader kit

        That is exactly what I did, and it works like a charm. I'll post pics later.

            Silly question - for this kind of thing to work (90 degree elbow to mount a loader above a warp mount), do you need to use a force feed loader or does it work well with a gravity feed loader?

              I personally wouldn't do it without some sort of force feed loader. However, there are people here who have more experience teching things and with designing custom equipment, so I'll defer to them when they pop up.

                That's what I thought. . . back to hoping that one day AGD cuts up some 45-degree feed ULE bodies.

                    Nice work. Now just some direct-to-plastic paint and you're good! One question, is the inner radius of the elbow a smooth 90 degree tunnel, or does it have a sharp hump, like I've seen with many PVC elbows? Just curious, because if it has that sharp hump you're asking for problems. This is the reason I use copper tubing, it's smooth all the way.

                        You can get it at Home Depot or any hardware store, it's a direct-bond-to-plastic type of paint, no primer needed. The can of paint I got has a picture of a plastic lawn chair on it.
