Howdy,
A few follow ups
with the regulator burner...it's a case of spacing I reckon in that I'm using a 6" rim burner stand and on a std regulator the flame is still compressed not burning cleanly...it needs more space me thinks...like cut the rim and add a 1- 2 inch band so gas flame does not lick around the keg base.
Local for a burner:

Soldering in the plates seems logical to me because It takes no space..i.e. gasket plate gasket plus easy flanges could be close to tri clamp ferrule clamping width max???
Soldering won't require what I think would be needed 2 extra gaskets in the vapour path...I'm just nor sure here on Mac's idea as I can't visualise it.....clearly it works just hesitate on the sealing issue...best if ask Mac on how this is done before making a decision.
I'm on a new 500w pump with 19mm poly feed to still. Already have 3 x 19mm off takes for pressure reduction and looks as if I need another 2 at least...bugga!
btw this is worth a good several reads before you start cutting and dicing
