-Nice Bits..
Now that is a stunning piece of work..
Valve bracket is here...Still working out the valve itself though.With all the radiuses etc it is a pain in ProD to get right without the program chucking a narnie.Any chance of some measurements of the fittings for the tank itself??Unless you would like to see a grown man beg:D
