?

That was last night.

I think the correct way to reseal a tank is to remove all panels and redo....

I think imma try since its small to just reseal the new panel in. Might be a fail. Might not be :s

::points up::::this is reefing.

Surprised you ,didn't I :smiling-face-with-halo: :zipper-mouth-face:

They fit, I do need to take a couple mm off the sides of the panel... figuring out the best technique for that... might be able to salvage. Prefer them to just get me another piece.

I feel like I just competed in Royal rumble. Got down to the finals and lost the Superbowl.

The intended orientation,
The maybe salvage. But would need to run elbows to height. Resulting in ugly execution.

hell; I'll send you a piece before I let you do that to yourself.

 

[Nate Chalk]

They are reaching out to fabricator to remake the piece. 5 minute response time :) they are right down the road. First time working with them. Like it already.

Yeah the piece is tough because the holes are so close. Trying to save as much room in the little tank as I can.

Take it back , tell them you'll be in car waiting, this is for a job!!

While you're at it, ask them why they felt it was acceptable to give ANY customer, much less a first time customer, a piece that was off-spec and out of tolerance.
