    Suspension arms use Prime-Line Slide-Co SP-9609 7/16” x 2” x .062” w/ max capacity of 18 lbs/8.2 kilos. Links from a roller chain were used to connect the spring to its anchor.

    My impatience got the best of me. I couldn’t wait for a used treadmill track to become available so I substituted it with embroidery tape connecting the cleats. It has very little side flex and the guide teeth keep it running straight.

    The tank is resting on 2x4s giving the suspension a real sagging look.
