a few spare minuits and a new bracket for the tunze
 
well as anyone who has a tunze knows the brackets are crap on tanks with trims. The problem I had was my tunze was drouping and pointing slightly down instead of strait across the tank like I wanted. So, I got a idea and built it tonight and it worked out awsome. The main goal was not to destroy the original bracket so if I wer to ever sell the unit I could, so my idea was to make more of a adaptor plate than a whole new bracket.

now befor anyone askes why my edges arn't polished.. it was a quick proto type so the next ones I build will be nicer looking :mrgreen:

Yea :lol: I tried just a single layer at first and as you may have found out that doesn't come close to working :rolleyes:

I glued a whole bunch of pieces together and kept adding them till I was sure it would hold.
