Default So I decided to make a DS loop, put it in :) Pic

Was board today at work, so I cut me up a piece of metal, heated it up, bent it around a 7 inch steel disc.. It turned out pretty good, considering it took a couple mins to make it. I also gussested the inside tops.. I put it there, so if it did break, the TANK would be ok

you need to have a "loop" on top of the shaft covering it just like the bottom
