End plates

HELLO !Thought i start a new topic! as you can see form the photo i posted ive got a peace 1ft 3" brass tube  for the boiler .Also 3" peace of solid round tube which iam going to turn down on a lathe to fit inside the 3" tube then solder 2MM cap one end .Also going to make a sight  glass on the other end .The tube ive brought is 16g which is 1.6mm thick abit thicker then what wilesco used but should be OK.SHOULD LAST FOR EVER!!
I did have a go at mending the boiler which was on it didn't go very well lots and lots of holes .The d32 WILL RIDE AGAIN its well worth doing i think .If this goes well might have a go at building something much bigger might have some think  in the pipeline !.
Ill bring it to leicester if its done!!!
End of the day you don't no to you try !!!!
ILL TAKE LOAD OF PICS WISH ME LUCK!!!!
