Dome

11/12/08

The rings for the new front dome mounting system have arrived. 

The weld in ring is steel, and the other machined ring is anodized aluminium.  These have been water jet cut and then milled to size by Emile at AiResearch in the Netherlands.  These will form the components of the opening front dome assembly.  I’ve still got to make the retaining ring and drill the holes for that, plus make the hinge, which I might not actually bother with anymore. 

The “O” ring is in the bag and fits to a groove on the other side of the aluminium ring.  This is how it should fit together here.
