shell<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Hi all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>When you cut out the hole for the conningtower, is distortion of the shell
an issue?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My shell is 12mm in thickness. Wondering if I should place a reinforcement
ring on either side of the hole to be cut -Not welding them so I can remove them
after I have tacked the tower in place.</DIV>
<DIV>

<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
