Questions and Answers #1
1. We did not find any source with description and part no. Please provide Manufacturer name or any other previous source of contact.
ANSWER: This is a custom part, there is no manufacture name or additional information on sources.
1. An overhead view of the top of one of the tanks the end-user would like to cover would help us lot to make sure the design we make is accurate to what they need. 1 simple overhead picture is fine.
ANSWER: Pictures have been added as attachments to solicitation.
1. We can quote out for 0.1 - 0.15" ABS covers, but for durability reasons we would suggest at least 0.25". ABS below 0.25" is relatively easy to ger cracks in overtime especially if exposed to saltwater like these will.
ANSWER: Please quote the thinner plastic unless the weight difference is negligible.
1. For "angled in towards the center", will it be produced like a shallow funnel? At what angle would they like it angled?
ANSWER: Any slight angle is fine. The insert could form a 90 degree angle with the base. Having the top ½” from the bottom is also fine.
