Wow. Nice pipework Joe!

Thanks, Eric

Almost the end of plumbing :ddb:
Turned some brass to make flanges


Bent some tubing with the shop-built tubing bender


Here's all the parts together, shaped the flanges by hand with a file, seemed like way too much mucking around to machine it for four pieces whose only critical point is the fit of the tubing  ::)


soldered together,


And here they are in place. Coolant from the water jacket exits through these assemblies, squirts into the funnels to return to the coolant tank.


Fuel tank or coolant tank next, haven't quite decided...

Cheers, Joe

Hi Joe, it's been a while since I looked at your build log, and I have to say you've done some very fine work and the engine is coming along smashing.  I think it won't very long before you are posting a video of it running, and we get to see and hear what one of these unique engines look and sound like in operation.  The pipe work looks beautiful, the different metals are doing a bang up job of drawing the eyes to the details, and it is quite impressive looking and makes me a bit envious.  Outstanding job and patience. :bow: :bugeye: :jaw: mad jack

Mad jack:  I've been following your radial build....no need for any envy on your part :thumbup:  thanks none the less for the kind comments.

Thanks Rob. 

Decided to get going on the fuel tank, and I know that  :worthless: so there will be some soon.
