Hello at all
Many thanks for your kind words, but is it not running - but I hope it.
In Germany we have a adage:
When the bear is killed we can share his skin.
Yes Mark I done it all with my own milling maschines (a CNC portal milling maschine only for alluminium and a vers small hand operated milling maschine.
Kind regards
Frank

Frank, what a neat and effective solution. I'm full of admiration for what you've achieved. Good to see you've also got a proper Tankie in the driving seat. I'd be interested to know where you've sourced the pump and fittings, Thanks for posting your progress, as ever it's interesting g to learn from such good work. Stephen
