Section 5 is all about balance so as not to distort the thin lid of the T500.

That sounds good, forever and a day holidays, I am only a little but jealous, no, I am big time jealous.

vt comes and goes when he can and will.
IMHO, the length of 5, on his plan can be halved with no detriment to product.
HTH.

To this amateur eye, length of 5 is purely about looks, balance and where the output is.

You could maybe get it to boil across at full tilt with it shorter, but I doubt it.

Great plans !

Could the length of 5 be halved ? I imagine it wouldn't impact on the balance much, if at all, but is the length of the head to the start of the condenser critical and 'matched' to the boiler in any way?

Say no more about it, a blink's as good as a nudge to a blind Camel.

Nice one VT, thanks for sharing.

That is brilliant v-t. I did ask of you the question when you initially put this up but I guess the pm got lost in the ether

The soldering thread has been extremely helpful too, so what seemed a bit of a mirage is suddenly a whole lot clearer now.
