A couple of CAD images I made
to show the shape the tankbottom will have.
the rear rubbermounts slide in, the front rubbermounts are bolted
in.
This week we started with the bottom of the
tank. First we scratched the outline of the tank on a piece of
2 mm sheetmetal, then we roughly cut out the shape on a large
sheetmetal cutting machine and finally we usd the big beltsander
to make it fit exactly.
We welded the caps on the rear rubbermount
pockets and welded both the inside and the outside again. Because
of the welds on the inside we chamfered the rubbers so that
they would slide in easier. We made the cutouts for the rubbermounts
in the bottom plates and tack-welded all the bits in place.
When my new tanklogo's arrive we will complete all the welding.
