Brazing a tank is ok, will work fine.

Unless you want an Ali one then give me a shout, I can make one to your spec or supply one of my standard tanks.

Tim,

I wish I had known you were doing tanks for other people, had one done for me the other week. I have no complaints about the tank I have (it's actually a very good piece of work). But the stainless tank I saw in your Avon a while back was an impressive piece of work. Well maybe when (if ?) the aluminium one I have gets damaged you can do me a stainless one.

If you don't want to mess around binraker get some like Tim to make your tank for you (it won't leak and will fit properly)
