Tiny bit more progress tonight saw my making holes in my stainless pots for the electric elements.

Massive thanks to Guy Gibson for the lend of the chassis punch, legend.

I'm doing these following theelectricbrewery.com's instructions to the letter – 2 gang metal junction box, faceplates either side, 32mm hole through a faceplate on the back, element, oring, washer on the outside, lock nut on the inside. Unsurprisingly looks like it'll be perfect.

The hold up has been waiting for some stuff to arrive from Amazon – 3 weeks overdue. Bah. Finally arrived this week so the holes are done. I'll do the rest of the work with weekend, but the end of it I should have elements all wired up.

Punch on outside:

Punch on inside:

Punch through:

Hole!

And the other one:

Cheers.

take a look at the detachable lead 3m auber probes. so you can take stuff outside for cleaning easier.

Yeah I have one of those coming, will fit onto a T on the out port of my HLT. Unplugs at either end, very handy!

JB Weld

Selleys do a similarly useful product that might be more widely available, Knead It, go for the aqua one.

Cheers Haish, bought some off trademe. Their local stockist list is bollocks, I can confirm there is no JB Weld at Mitre 10 Mega Albany.

Got all my pot holes drilled last night, when that JB Weld turns up I'll be about ready to assemble all vessels! Photos in due course.
