Wilesco D9/D10 cylinder differencesI am trying to order a D10 valve/cylinder assembly and was told they are out of stock, but that a D9 assembly is available which is similar but I would need to modify the steam and exhaust pipe attachment points. This left me confused. I thought that the D9 was the kit form of the D10, and that the parts would be more or less interchangeable.
If anyone could post pictures of the D10 and/or D9, specifically closeups showing how the pipes are attached to the valve, I'd really appreciate it. I can't see the difference from the tiny catalogue pics.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin, I have a D9 (it was my first engine) and I know that the steam lines are all fitted with joiners, to screw on. I think the D10 lines are soldered??

That is the point.
