    Nice to own an SDR Darryl, I must admit to fancying this one but the issues put me off bidding, I've always got my buddy's Type 1 & 3 to look at lol .. my pockets aren't as deep as his lol.

    Hi Darryl, the legs are supposed to screw into the tank but I had one where the threaded end of the legs had broken off in the tank. The previous owner had soldered the legs directly onto the tank. Maybe something similar has happened. See Tilley SDR Type 1
