One of these eh, Wim? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Optimus needs the lever to clamp the on/off component onto the jet outlet. Finger grip around the...
@Martin K. It would Martin, yes. Knowing Brian has more than one Tillite to choose from however I was helping him select the most suitable...
@Buggerlugs If this pin on the die-cast jet block has broken off its a goner … [ATTACH] If the brass pin that’s pressed in component ‘A’ has...
I posted on this old thread @MYN @Buggerlugs just to update it for future reference for anyone researching the device, since it had ended...
This is the best combination for the seal/shutter, a 1mm thick viton and 1mm thick brass laminate, epoxy adhesive to bond the two. The brass...
Not necessarily … Tillite from Tasmania.
Update I’ve incorporated the brass/viton composite seal in a second example of the three Tillites @Tony Press sent me. To recap, with the secure...
@Darryl Durdin A week on, how are you mate? John

@MYN That’s very helpful information, thank you. I’ll continue with my test use of the lantern, reassured that there’s the optimum choice of...
@MYN The slow-curing Araldite, which I’ve more faith in than the ‘rapid’, maybe unjustifiably. JB Weld would be my next choice.
