Well....... I'm still here!

Unfortunately, shop time and enthusiasm have been hard to find recently.

But, I've sourced a rubber wood base, and gas tank......

It runs ok, so far.......

Trying to get me head around plumbing the water tower. It needs up/ down pipes.
I intended to solder direct into the side. But, don't like that idea, now........

Cos it needs to unplug from the engine stubs......

Thought, mebbe I could solder in, boiler type bushings.
Then plumb lower pipe through a 90* elbow, and upper, bend to horizontal.......

Anyone else got a better idea?

Are there any better looking, 8mm dia fixings, than these?

It's nice to be back!
