Well done ! Excellent work. I only wish that my own lanterns could look half as good.:content:
I try to flush my lantern founts at least every six months or so, no matter how little they've been used. Must have missed this one, flushed it...
My son left it behind when he moved out some years ago. I'm quite sure he doesn't have a Gloria, it was just a loose spare part. Don't know...
Anyone recognise this item - what Lantern it belongs to ? Thanks.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Silly me. It's an Austramax Filler Cap. Wakes up. :clap:
AussiePete She ran for about five hours tonight, before running out of fuel, and surprisingly, air pressure. I'll check it out tomorrow; hope I...
