Kit 7 Tank Sealer

Hi All,

I am near completion of kit 7 after a lot of time assembling and dreaming of the 5BA screws and nuts. I was thinking of sealing the tender before starting kit 8. I opened kit 8 to see if I could find any values I could assemble into the tender top plate prior to sealing and have noticed that I will need to insert a filter and possibly remove the tender front plate as shown in drawing 3 of 8, is this correct? If so at what point should I seal the tender as I wanted to do this to lock the millions of nuts in place!

Any advice on this would be great (I am looking at Kit 17 in my garage as I am writing this with a hatred I did not know I had, thinking of all those little nuts and bolts waiting for me ).

Cheers

Dwain

Hi Dwain

You can seal up the tank but leave the inspection cover off. This will allow easy access for all the other bits in the "tender fittings" kit. Including the filter on the water uplift pipe.
