AD searchAlmost finished this bit .Just got to cut the shaft down and get a suitable knob .Thinking knurled brass .
Fitted a sight glass tube so I can check water level in RC .
Ended up ordering one for a 10Liter Zip hot water urn.When it turned up it was Plastic so it easily cut to size .Filed new grooves in it for the Oring seals and it fitted nicely inside some 1/2" that I soldered to some 1/4" compression fittings .

Love it.
Still trying to get my head around how it works.
If you do a "how to" build thread, I'll make one :D :D
Keep up the lateral thinking it's great to see.

Thanks for looking and commenting fellas.
Will be making a start on Bubble fairly soon.
DVB , The Idea is to be able to control the level of the water in the RC by either raising or lowering the height of the outlet pipe.
For this to work though,the water flow valve must be on the inlet.I have done some tests and with water entering the RC ,it will drain at a rate of up to 9 liters per minute before the water can't escape fast enough and the thing simply becomes full regardless of outlet pipe height .
No-one would ever have an RC water flow of 9 Liters /Min in a 4" Bubbler
