Unfortunately the leak test wasn't a complete success both the 4" and 3" SSg sealed up no leaks then turned the 1/2 full keg upside down and both element guard ferules have a pin prick size hole that lets out a drip every 10 or so seconds . :crying-blue:

Have to take it back monday for a touch up :angry-banghead:

[MacStill]

Belt the holes with a punch and hammer, could be the answer

run the bloody thing already, dont let little things stop you....... hook in :angry-banghead:

Took boiler back to get a touch up weld one the leak so all fixed and he even gave me some pickling paste to clean up the welds worked great , i went a bit over board with the paste and partialey dulled a couple of FSD ferules :scared-eek:
That I will have to polish up again but that will be down the track . :shifty:

So it looks like I can run the still this weekend :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Now you can "finally" change your signature :O)

[1 2many]

Wow that was cool all went ok but i think i should have plumbed the RC off the pc as the water was to cold and barely had a drop of water going through it. the run started as drops but then went to a tiny stream by itself all plates loaded up nicely .

Now to do the real thing it is a vintage TPW @ 6 months and 19 days old :oops: Better late than never as thay say. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
