Dip tubes/inlets done, thanks to the kind lend of a pipe bender by Peter Smith – cheers!

Made short work of some bloody hard stainless, and good learning – last one is the best one.

Hi Barry.

Sorry for the lack of contact - I have just resurfaced after being belted by an unexpected medical curve ball. 

Thanks for info about where to go for parts I will be chasing them up in the next couple of days.

As soon as I learn how I will post photos of some 'before and after' shots of the stripped and polished metal components from the Engine - really impressive result.

Cheers.

Significant progress this weekend, cyclone Lusi gifting me a fair amount of indoors time.

Got all my vessels completed, all that's left to get going is the electrickery (so still quite a bit then).

I had mixed experiences with some of the fittings, all four taps through the pots seemed to go together quite differently despite each pair of them being made up of identical parts inside and out.

But they all passed an initial leak test, not with vessels full but with me…

Just finnished my first prototype but i'm not sure if its too fast, using a varible voltage adapter so it has like 4 speeds.
