[time-nuts] Machining some aluminum help!

[J. L. Trantham]

Corby,

Is it a 'pressure' seal or a 'vacuum' seal?

Vacuum should be much easier to achieve.

Well that generated a lot of advice and thanks for it!
I think I might do it myself and go with a 1/2" hole depth and 1/4"
threaded depth.
I'll get some of that Aluminum Tap magic, some new taps and new drill bits.
Good idea about drilling the end plates first and drilling thru to match.
Between the end plate and the tube is a gasket that needs to seal pressure and moisture tight. That's why I used 5 per side.

Will let you know how it turns out.

Cheers,

Corby
