The mote for controlling a remote thermostat turned out a bit tighter than I was hoping. Going to install it tomorrow and see if it actually works.
The first step to disassembling the titan is to get that stupid orange retaining ring off of the back. It's glued on at a couple points, but that's easily solved with a small flat-head screwdriver. As you can see here, it comes off easily.
To remove the ring from the Titan totally, it needs to be cut, I just snipped one side of it and pulled it off over the pump housing. If you're just doing this for the air restrictor removal and the overpressure valve plugging, you can leave the ring in place to be slid back on later.
I really did not like the dark grey barrel that Lego used for the arms, and the usage of 2 of those bowls back to back created what looked like a weak spot. However, after tinkering around with the design, I realized changing around the parts to make it look better and have good stability was a little difficult. Using a lot of 2x2 round bricks was extremely boring, even those with ridges. I also wanted to make the hand/claws be able to pivot at the wrist, but in order to do so, the arm would either end up way too long to accommodate the parts, or would use technic liftarms too much and be wide and flat or too bulky for the scale. Also, making it look good and having the 'hand' able to swivel was also a bit difficult as most connections were only stable with an axle.
My solution was 2 wheel parts surrounding a straight technic connector with a hole in the center. The hole allows for parts to be attached. See my other pics for the arm attachment I made.

I was sick of fighting with the ugly great triangular flange that my headers were built with so took the opporunity to weld on something a bit more friendly to take on and off. This is one of these machined flanges that is held by a single clamp.
You can see my nice neat TIG welding on the left vs my blobby first attempt ever at MIG welding on the right from when I first built the exhaust
To seal the air tank, I cut off the threaded portion and filled in the hole with hot glue. You can do whatever you like for this, I like hot glue.
On a side note, don't buy the ACE brand hot glue, it has this weird yellow tinge and tends to bubble a lot more than the stuff I usually use, which is Stanley Brand Dual-Temp sticks.

This boy face needs to become a girl.
I am sanding off parts of the heavy eyebrows, and the nose is already a bit tinier. I am not done yet, I need to get it balanced more. Also the eyes are opened, but need to be a bit more opened first.
Still a lot to work on

Located at Arcadia and Gil Hopson in Murray, Kentucky. Inset shows close up of other structures at this site. This area of Kentucky almost has a scorched look.
a pair of Sony powered speakers to go with my MP3 player. Nothing like some soft tunes to listen to going down the road. They are attached to the water bottle cages that are clamp mounted to the upper seat stay.

Roland TR808 Recovered from oblivion restorated from oxide MIDI-fixation and deeper modification. Now it can be sequenced by any midi sequencer/synth. All parts has been hardly cleaned to remove all that dust and oxide who were inside. The TR808 has almost over 25 years old so needed a lot of work inside it.
A pair of new side panels has been done by myself on wood to close the unit, getting away the old plastic side panels that were taking so much space. Now the Roland TR808 is finished with an standard rack width to rack it if needed. A new painting has been aplied on the frontpanel surface, side panels and front side, to prevent the corrosion. I have replaced too the old round phillips screws to a flat allen galvanized screws, so they will never be re-oxidize again. The old power plug has been changed too to a new smallest one. Hope you like the work !!
I love my 808.
