Het Punchy,

I am the expectant father of what I think will be the cousin of your build.

There is a package coming to me soon which will shed further light but I envisage something just like what I see you doing.

Might have to message you for tips once I start playing with my bits!

Cheers,

Richard

This is as far as I got... PC tubes soldered in, still need sockets for water soldered on. PC has a couple of leaks I'm chasing so it isn't complete... Here is a mock up so far...

Oh yeah and a heap of clean up to do :roll:

And little pic of what you will see...

I finally have the RC sealed after chasing a few leaks - that was very demoralising... ~x(
