Working on a project for the MH and have a Q. I have a 4" OD AL cylinder with 1/2" thick walls. Was going to attach to a 1/2" thick AL plate. My welder only goes up to 255amps and I don't have my TIG torch cooler made(and my welding skills aren't so hot,,,pun intended!!). So I thought I would bore a precise hole in the 1/2" plate. Throw the plate in the stove and the cyl. in the freezer. Now,,,,how much diffrence in size??? .001 or maybe 2 thousands. Or real tight at .0025??? Whats real tight?? Will be mounted on the engine so it will have some vibration but no real load. Thanks in advance,,,,,PL
