It
turns out the 25mm pipe I ordered is actually 28.5mm OD so with the bead is
near 30mm….. a bit too large for a 25mm silicone hose. I need to get the right size pipe.
Tonight
I installed the mounting plate for the expansion tank. I marked and drilled 2no M8 holes in the
bulkhead panel, then a further 4no 5mm holes for the rivets. The mounting panel was then rivet in position
– I used skiaflex too for a strong bond.
Hopefully when the bulkhead is fixed to the scuttle this will be strong enough to support the weight of the expansion tank with water in it. If not then I will add a support bracket underneath the tank.
