Looking good  :praise2: I do like the idea of using PCB material for the tank  :ThumbsUp:  :ThumbsUp:  :wine1:

 Cheers guys.  :)

I should add that if anyone makes a similar tank it's a good idea to tack the other side in a few places before running the joint properly with solder. This is due to that when the solder cools it shrinks and will pull the board off 90 degrees if allowed to.

The thought did occur to me but I think it's bordering on the OTT as it is with what I have already done.

But open to others opinions.

Thanks,  Nick

Did some work on the timing plate and made the push rod and contact block etc. Still need to remove tool marks and the end of the push rod where it meets the rocker is not final.









And a little video overview.
