Thanks,
We have pondered that for a while and tonight just grabbed a scrap piece of 3/8 cold roll and literally he took on end i took the other and we manually bent it around the outside ov the tank until we got the correct radius, welded in two tabs of cold roll, bent the prop rod, milled a bushing and it worked wonderful! What i really do NOT look forward to is painting. I have 20 cans of 2000F primer coming, as the air compressor tank is so old it is pitted on the exterior, I would really like to get a decent finish but i dont see it possible without a massive amount of time! Any suggestions?
