I'm thinking imperfections could be perfect, run it like a wild man and get some funky funk happening :laughing-rolling:

After all it is predominately a rum still :dance:

Sorry, no clamps at all. If you send me your addy i've dug out two silicon o rings, two ferrules and two sightglasses. Will save you adding the ferrules on the outside anyway.

Looks good Mcstill,
After watching Larrys videos of this style of rig running with the setup of the overflow on your thumper wont the vapours try to bypass the thumper without a liquid trap, or is there and I missed it(which happens quite frequently :laughing-rolling: )
Cant wait to hear your results.
And good luck reaching the valves :laughing-rolling:

Hopefully I get as good a result from this as you get, was going to run it today but it's going to be 40 degrees C here today :snooty:

The pipe work on the thumper has a pee trap in it mate, it should not let any bypass happen at all.

I started redoing the plumbing on it yesterday, hopefully I'll get it finished before the sun hits my shed this morning :crazy:

Any idea how much the liquid level has risen in relation to your total (thumper) volume capability?
