I cut the top handles off it and welded it on the bottom so the drain can poke out

So much for done and dusted I found a few leaks and realised my soldering skills aren't as good as I though I have now made a new ex with 12. Half inch tubes it's 130mm long lets see if it is leak free so far so good

Cap space are easier and they look cool! They're also less fiddly to run than perfs.
