Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I'm using 1/16" size orings, if I use smaller cross section orings I would be able to get cylinder wall thickness thinner. Only 1/32" oring thickness McMaster doesn't have in those sizes. Small thickness metric orings available but I don't think the cylinders this size will look too out of place on a machine such at a 777 or 773 haul truck. And they are only visible when dumping. I'm more into function than exact scale anyway. And I'm not sure how easily I can machine the inner oring grooves on stainless. You machinist guys,, would some soft steel be just as good for cylinders? Easier for me to machine and I imagine a good polishing would last on a oil filled cylinder. I just have always used stainless on hydraulic rods.
