Brief Description: Sight gauges
|
|
Closed up other end of sump sight gauge, clamped to a plastic container with tape to hold the end level, and into the epoxy hot box for cure.
Filled a few divots here and there.
Decided the fitting of the inlet tubes was a bit random, and devised a jig to hold them in position for cure, meaning I can fit them and one end cap in one cure cycle, saving a day. I replaced the PVC tubing jig in the starboard gauge site and marked for drilling from inside the tank. I drilled them out through both walls of the jig for a loose fit with some 3mm fibreglass rod from the bits box. I placed them back into the site, with the rods, and superglued them together from the inside. After cure I took them out, superglued the inside joint, and trial fitted after cure.
On the workbench I smeared some bondo on the jig, put cling film over it and clamped on the jig, so the bondo would locate the inlet tubes.
