new addition

First of all I wasn't referring to any one individual with my comment about some not thinking things through.

I took it as you meant it to me, being as you said it directly underneath a quote from me. If I interpreted this wrong I also am sorry.
I also agree entirely on the drums, the steel that they use is shocking. I am surprised you saw a crack form in the steel though, as the only molecular change in the base material would be a slight hardening from heating it up to cherry red for the braze. I have seen what you describe happen after a weld many times, because with a weld you are introducing a chemical mis of two different materials. Brazing, and soldering is just a bond so the joint will generally fail before the materials being joined. Having said that, stranger things have happened I guess.

Anyway, hopefully this wont taint my time on the forum. I don't want to come across as arrogant, I'm far from it (from what I can tell Ged has a low tolerance of arrogance and he hasnt said anyting to me yet lol so i think I'm ok ;-) ) I just enjoy what I do and have come here to learn a bit more and offer my help for the help I recieve wherever possible.

Hello

Have you tested the new one?

[GedsJeep]

they all work mate, the only difference in the angle is.... well..... the angle it comes out at.

i was filling the drum right up, hence the initial angle, but my findings are that with the shallower angle, you can fit more oil in the drum, but i would reccomend either a collar on the top, or the nozzle setting deep in the drum.

with the steeper angle, you dont get as much "lift", but the fan isnt as long, due to the angle. (it hits the oil in the drum).

i will make a few vids tomorrow and show the differences.
