I have ta agree with Zac,the romance of the traditional set up should not outway safety considerations and the need for us all to conduct our hobby with the serisness it deserves,if its to become legal then I would expect each still would have meet basic safety standards ,and have built all mine with this in mind,your build may inspire many others ta do the same (have a look at how many views some of the old build threads have)so we want your build ta promote the right way ta do things.A two inch ferrule is to small to put your hand through for cleaning ,I would go to a 4inch sight glass kit from 5Star and solder the cap on as Zac said ,a small cost against what you stand to get back from it,or say ta heck with it and fit sight glasses to ya thumper and flake stand as well ,will make cleaning easy and let ya moniter things better.cheers hillzabilly
