Jumping in, read a couple posts...
Regarding the stainless tanks you guys are sourcing... please don't do that.
I have them IN THE PRODUCTION QUEUE.
Online metals guarantees cuts to +/- .125 and these are NOT finished cuts... they are rough. How will you feel if you buy a 1" tube for a Mini and it shows up 7/8" and is useless to you? Or 1 1/8... and the top cap won't go on?
The inside dimensions of that tube are not correct, you will have fit issues.
The bottom line: PLEASE BE PATIENT... I promised these would come and they will. I have HUNDREDS of them in process, finished to match, made of the correct steel and the exact dimensions.
The only way to get these right is to do it right... that involves having the tubing ID turned to fit and with proper end finishes.
Sweet....I will toss mine in a drawer and forget about them....better yet I will try to cancel the order. No biggie, thanks for the heads up Zen~
