2017-11-23 13.45.35.jpgTubular mounting bracket in place, bolted to side of tin. I cut two notches in the side of the suction tube and folded the tab out, then I cut a slot down the sides of the bracket. This stops the tube being pulled out and stops it rotating so the bevelled end lines up with the curve on the outside of the tin.JPEG Image - 1.49 MB - 07/21/2019 at 10:01 |
