    In the interest of the community and industry I believe there should be given a little latitude to those who are willing to develop new products. Apples and oranges when compared to an existing part.

    Looks like a piece of fibre-glass cloth dipped in a tar like substance and applied to the tank! and let set to dry/cure. ....cliff showthread.php
