Re: Question For Engineers/Metal Workers
It looked too hefty to be steel. It will be heavy in steel as well. You would not need the bit the tube fits into to be as thick though.
How soon are you after it sorting out?

sorry to disappoint , but have yet to hear of any oil facility,oil or gas line anywhere in the world that has been built to any other pipe standard than the "abysmal American" one . understand 'metric' sizes are being used on plastic sewer lines and maybe small bore domestic tubing .  |

Re: Question For Engineers/Metal Workers
Don't just jump at the first engineers you find either - shop around. At the place I work, if we require anything made in the engineering sector, the same job can be quoted by two or three different firms with anything up to 70% difference in price from the cheapest.
Part looks like an aluminium casting so a steel replacement should be ideal. Should be easily turned too. Most firms have a minimum order price of around £25 for a one-off job but I'd say around £40 - £50 for the part you want (But don't quote me!!) |

)Actually Terry has now retired and his son runs the business, but he happened to be in this week because his son is on holiday. Nice bloke to deal with. Tried to give you karma again but it says I have given too much out in the last 24 hours. Have the rules changed ?
