From what I've heard, the guys at Univair gave up building the inserts for
the riveted tanks.
The shape is too complicated to bend - the aluminum used to crack or the
press is just broken.
Any of these reasons are preventing Univair from making parts. And if they
would make some, you would pay twice as much for one of them than it would cost
to have all tanks redone by John Wright.

Your best bet is to remove the tank and send it to John Wright Jr. for a proper repair. I have seen these tanks corroded (from the inside out) to a point where the entire skin or rear bulkhead must be replaced. Junior takes them apart, cleans the inside and replaces any/all material that needs replacing, and sends you back a tank that is as good as or better than new. (and at less than 1/3 the cost of a new one)Lynn Nelsen============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
