Sta Help ?

[RUFUST]

I am looking for info on a s/s sta I saw.It is M shaped instead of V shaped allowing the single tank to sit lower and have 3 points of support instead of 1.Unfortunatly I never got to ask where it was from.Does anyone know who makes this style?

Sorry, I don't know who makes it, but if it's "M" shaped, it will allow 3 point contact of only 1 diameter of tank. Just a tad bit of uselsess info . . .

Hammerhead makes the M (or W) shaped STA. It straddles the ridge on the back of the BP.

Edit: There's a photo on this post.

Cheers,

FredT also makes one although I don't think that you can get his stuff presently.

I have a pic in this thread... it is in my second set of pics.

Why do you want a M-shaped STA? They only contact the cylinder in two places... the same as any other standard channel STA.

My hammerhead sta is "m" shaped. I've welded the bolts to the STA which makes it nice for assembling your kit with the STA mounted on the tank.

Thanks for the info.The 3 points of contact were on the backplate,not the tank giving it more stability.The hammerhead and FRED T both look much better than my OMS as they wrap around the ridge in the plate.Again thanks.
