Parker's 265 Build - Thread Retired

Can I ask if you know the wall thickness of the Square tubing used in the stand in the first pic? I am building stands for OA's new renovations and want to make sure I'm using OK thickness steel. Acctually, I think I am Over engineering the stands. Allways nice to know what others are built out of.

Hi,

The wall thickness is 1/4", Over engineered is always good, better safe then sorry.

Railskinner did you get the BM200 running yet?

Well the cabinet guys weren’t real keen on the way I was planing to drop the tank in so they came up with a better way. They have to rework the cabinets though so it's going to take an extra day.
