We provided the sketch design (based on our existing tanks - Steel Fixture
Mfg. and Delta), then they improved on it. They took one of our tanks as a
sample, and designed from there. They furnished a prototype for our review
before production. So, I suspect they could work with you - same design,
adjust the dimensions. There were also discussions of the ideal durometer
of the gasket material.
