    You could cut away the bottom of the frame and let the burner balance on the vaporiser like a PL53... depends whether you're ok butchering the frame or not.

    Hi good day all Thank you for you kind remarks . Just so you know to get it stable I needed to cut a groove into the top of the extension tube ,
    Than fitted a meaty circlip with a steel washer on top so that I could screw down the control part, with top washer + seals top and bottom.
    I am sure with a threading kit and a reducing bush it would be easier with less components . . Stay Safe Michael
