Air tank

Postby paul hughes » March 15th, 2013, 12:37 pm

I am struggling to find an airtank for retracts to fit in the space available, however i do have a 400ml airasol can that fits. To my untrained eye it looks like an easy job to drill out the nozzle and solder in a nipple and hay presto I have a airtank that fits. Does anyone have experiance of using airosol cans in this way?

Hi Paul, I have always found it better to leave the valve alone and carefully drill onto the base. then just solder in a brass tube. 1/16th id. I think - then solder on a next size up piece on the end to affectively make a barb. Anyway, a Gee Bee with retracts is cheeting ! cheers Glenn
