hi all well i did a bit more tonight i have modded the oilier that rob had made the tubing is two old bubbles from a spirit level first thing i did was to cut off the top part of the original oilier the reason for this is the thread is BA and i don't have any of them + way remake something that's OK i then had to mack a ring to go over the remaining part to form a collar for the tube to sit in and that was silver soldered on to the bottom SOS no pics of that bit i then direst the center out i then drilled the hole bigger in the middle to 3mm for a center tube i then tappet sum m3 tubing with a m3 thread then drilled sum 1.3 mm holes a round the bottom then this was soft soldered in too the bottom i then made the top with a 5mm hole in then made a bush tapt m3 then turned dawn to m5 to fit in to the top cape then this was silver soldered in to place right pics
