Bit of help needed guys thx

[scaffman69]

A bit of help you may be able to help me with, ive dropped my ebarron killer tank and cracked the glass, were could you possibly buy new glass and are they stardard sizes or would i measure diameter to get the size, in which case its 22/3 mm and the glass 1ml thick . Appreciated gus thx

Haven't a clue Scaff . . . have you a Glass Merchants anywhere near you that you could take the shrapnel in to show them?

Or contact House of Mods(?) to see if they can obtain replacements.

Its a lng shot whether it would work or not but alba vapours have replacement pyrex tubes for some of their atties(like i say a long shot)

Otherwise if you are stuck then Perpetuas idea seems sound(if you source the pyrex tubing and take it to a glaziers to be cut down/ finished.

Might help

When Macca did the co-op buys on the Aga's, before clear/glass tanks were available for them, he took the dimensions he required into his local Glass Merchants. They ran him up a couple of samples just to check they'd fit  . . . and then went on to produce a 100 for us.

Don't think it's a place anywhere near you Scaff, but you might have someone equally helpful closer to home.

Sounds pretty feasable that does perpetua m8, yes, will maybe go a hunting in and around my sheffield area its a big enough city, i`ve only had it a bloody day it was working like a dream . Darn it. But will go a hunting for tubing on the net first and get it sewn to size if possible. Thx

YW Scaff . . . hope you have some success, don't know if any of these are in areas known to you:

[scaffman69]

On another note is pyrex or glass the better choice or both as good as each other and break easy when dropped

I dont honestly know but if it was me id go for pyrex which covers both bases(dropping it and heat )

Just having a look and found this site www.grayglass.net/glass.cfm/Industrial-Products/Pyrex-Tubing-/catid/4/conid/42

Is that 22.3 mm ? if so it sounds a weird  measurement...maybe in imperial ?so might be worth checking US sites also
