Final Reservior Ideas

[Barry]

Could I get some opinions on my final reservior design please.

Its got 3x G1/4". Two on the rear to be connected upto the loop, and the other on the front for a custom made stopper for filling and emptying the loop.







Its made from 4 layers of 10mm (could be 8mm depending on whats in the shop) laser cut and etched. The logos are that of sponsors and won't have the white backgrounds.

Any opinions?

I was just thinking that... Then I thought of silicon but ya can't use it everywhere... you would see it.

Take it the first couple of designs were too difficult Barry?

Water won't seep through thanks to my awesome awesome-ness and super clever mounting system. In reality, there are 8xM8 threads around the outside, and special M8 Lugs on the back, and.....

Yes, clear Jam Jar seals between the layers...

But will the water not still seep between the panels... not leak out but still between each of the four panels?

In primary tests with 3 layers of 5mm acrylic, it held firm.

Fair play... Just water has a tendency to work its way in..

If it works out fine then all good but even a little bit would become instantly annoying as it would leave little pockets that would be very visible.

Aaaahhhh unless you mean your using ya jam jar things on the inside of the res too?

Could you not cut a shallow grove, top and bottom of each panel then run a ring of rubber round?
