PC done and leak tested :dance:
I ended up drilling my in/outlets with a drill that I sleaved with a peice of 5/8 copper and fitted with a soft bump stop so it didn't mark the 3". I just made it so the drill would only just reach through. Worked well but would still advise drilling them first haha.
I ran out of solder and can't find the bernzomatic stuff anywhere, I don't think it's sold here in Oz anymore unfortunately. So I ended up going for the aquasafe and 801 flux. The aquasafe is way cheaper which is a bonus :handgestures-thumbupleft: I can't say I like it as much as the bernzo but it works ok. It has a smaller window of melting point and seems to need a little more direct heat which is taking a while to get used to. The 801 doesn't clean off after soldering as well either leaving it a bit dirty looking but an acid bath should fix that :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Mmmm now what, plates, rc or sightglasses? I'll have a think and see what takes my fancy.
