In between a wood working project for the wife, I worked on the tank some
more today. It was kind of a “bugger” getting the correct curves on the long
side panel to fit the bottom.
Not sure how one is suppose to get the top panel to fit as one won’t be
able to manipulate the metal from the inside of the tank…… should be
interesting.
I still have to cut the side panels for length and make the tabs to lock
them together.
Also still have to play around with the brass rivets I found in my stash.
They’re hollow on the end part way. It seems to me these are the type
of rivets used on brake shoe lining “back in the day”, and vaguely
remember using a manually operated riveter / press type of tool
once to install them.
I was thinking of machining a punch to work on these type of rivets,
but not sure what the end should look like. Anyone know?
Prepare to be boarded!
