Today I ordered the gasket for the wing tank. Univair had them in stock. They have six holes, my gasket has 12 holes. I'll punch out the other six when I receive it. The glass is called a lens and is part number 48138 and sells for the unrealistic sum of $36. For that price, you can buy a 4' x 8' sheet of 0.040-0.050 acrylic and practice making the lens till you get one right. I also bought the swing arm for the cork with the scale attached. I manufactured the window plate with the pointers and the saddle that supports the float arm below the window plate. Made them from 4140 steel, took about two hours. Everything inside the tank was rusted very badly and not worth saving. The only part that was salvageable was the ring that holds down the lens and the backing plate that has the 12 nuts attached. I removed the backing plate from inside of the tank cleaned it and coated it with epoxy paint. Talk to Bill at Univair, he seems to know the tanks and their parts very well.
