G'day KK,

I've been so busy since then it got put on the back burner, the parts are available from my supplier but I'm yet to order any in.

Send me a email or PM if you're stuck and I'll see what I can sort out for you on monday :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Here's an extra long 6" ferrule we had custom made for a member, it's a short ferrule with an extra 75mm welded on and polished & certainly looks a lot better than others I've seen elsewhere :D

Notice how true the ferrule faces are ;-)

I ordered it and it was here a week later, can't complain about that.

Here's a few things that are kind of new for 2014, I just need to enter them into the store once I get some spare time.

2" butterfly valves, other sizes will be available.

There's also a few other custom parts coming soon, and other ideas I'm working on at the moment, it's going to be an exciting year :happy-partydance:

G'day hillzabilly,

Thanks for the feedback mate, but you let the cat out of the bag now :))

Yes we are very proud to be supplying Brewmart their very own range of perforated plate modular columns, and also some of our other specialty distillation products :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers.
