[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 123758, member: 456"] Being a careful Yorkshireman I designed my own and got a local chum to make some in exchange for the design. The centre is 4 inches up from the bottom edge of the top of the oil tank. The diameter is 2 inches. The thread is the same as the tappet and valve spring inspection caps. The slot in the top takes the edge of either a K1 or K3 spanner. An 'o' ring in a groove acts as a seal. The outer, flanged 'container' is steel and will distort if you weld it. If it does then you will have to re-tap it after fitting. One was silver soldered and another chum, who copied the design, modified it so that the flange on the container was much larger, flattened at the side to match the width of the oil tank and then held on with epoxy and four screws. I did two for myself and the first chum fitted one for himself. In all cases the pipe work inside the tank was different varying from the pipes being near to the floor of the tank or being right up against the top so when and if you cut the hole take care not to go too far down into the tank.
