You cut that big old tank without any support?
A friend of mine cut the cylinder on lathe and also the aluminium ring (i didn't find any othe word to describe it)
He remove 0.5 -1mm from the cylinder to take away the paint and the scratches.
How much pressure do you think those 4 latches can hold back?
I hope to hold 10bars. I haven't test it yet to 10bars bacause i need a better oring. Till now only to 2 bars
If I see that the latches cant;t hold 10bars I will replace them with stainless steel.
