For bending up the tanks? The rest (lines and burners themselves) should all be tubes.
Interested to see MkII!

No apology needed, just pointing it out.
What are you doing about tube orafices? The SS burner has actual gaps in the feed in the base of each tube.

A good job. A suggestion for next time though is that it is not necessary to silver solder any part of the burner. In this application silver solder has no advantage and if you are using copper in the construction it is left very soft.
The actual burner head of a vaporising burner is the only application I can think of for silver solder on a burner for one of our engines.

Hi Murray welcome to the forum.
the only copper used in this burner is the filler tube
all the rest is brass

You shouldn't really need to silver solder it. Mamod burners are soft solder!

Silver solder is easy enough.

| When you go into production I will have one Graham. Will be a good alternate to running gas. Do you think you could make me some wick covers for my Bowman burner? |
