Am I missing something? the braces can be cut for either $25.00 or $33.00 right? Don't trash the city, so not cool.

yes thats what i was quoted but then they turn around and say thier supplier refuses to cut the braces due to the thickness of glass. thus saying yes this is the cost tease tease but you cant have it. sucker.. its really frustrating. i can get the big sheet no problem.. but noone wants to cut the bracing.

yet tanks are being built with thinner glass as filler. and tank builders seem to be able to do it

What a 72" brace, the tank glass, or the little pcs. of Euro on the ends of the tank? regardless of your answer 3/8 would solve your problem if they will cut it.

the brace is a piece of glass 3" or 4" whide 1/2 thick 72" long siliconed length wise along the topof tank to suport the tank for flex so it doentpop under pressure rather than a brace across the tank in the middle that hinders getting to tank and working inside the tank. i can show you what i mean tomorrow if you like. i already have teh two short pieces just need the long ones

I'll vouch for his crate making abilities and expediting skills.:thumb:

Ya I know that, i was asking what was 1/2"...... the tank, the end euro pcs. or the 72" euro (that was the smart ass part of the question I know there wasn't a 72" brace on the tank) Why won't 3/8 glass work?
