I had to switch gears for an evening, so I made the end caps last night out of plate steel. After I get a gasket for the center section, I can use it as a template to make a plate for that hole as well. Still not sure what the best material is to create gaskets for this while its being plated. Wonder if the acid would eat through cork?

Maybe Teflon would be a good gasket material? | | | Re: I'm in the Garage!

It would be great for a seal and the acid is in plastic tanks (from what I saw at the chrome zinc plating places I have worked in) so you don't have to worry about it getting ate up. You will find many uses for the rest of the $9.00 flap. Member Shenandoah Valley Vans Van = Party. Party + cool people = Vannin'. Lets go Vannin'!
