Well given the high price of the products and my dwindling money supply (have a little one due in a month) I think I and a friend at work are going to try to fabricate one ourselves. I work at childrens hospital as an Orthopedic Tech and work alongside an orthotics company who makes all their own custon fit braces out of vacum molded polypropylene. The orthotist says we may be able to sqeeze 4 tanks outa sheet of the stuff. I'm gonna do a fiberglass mold of the tankwell this weekend out of the fiberglass that I use to cast limbs. I'll keep you all apprised and post some pictures of my progression.
