Thanks Clark, I would love to have the knowledge of a tool maker. I'd have a die for everything.
Keith, sorry for the delay on the numbers
Ford, NSW 2822
VR, 634
The paintball tiger I made was VR 3413
The Fuel tanks to date. I decided to mig weld the joints as it was the quickest and most effective way for me to do it.

fittings all done and a quick pressure and the old soapy water test diligently performed again by the budding apprentice (non paid of course) Andrew.
Just a quick grind and then paint.
