I recenlty built an MLT using a 5 gallon round cooler. I haven't used it yet, I still need to pickle the brass parts. I have a question though. The only SS washers I could find were Zinc plated SS.....are these ok to use????
Thanks!
Thanks!

The biggest issue I had putting this together was finding a SS washer the right size; I ended up making one out of a piece of plastic, I simply could not find one big enough.
