Hello all, Over the summer I purchased what I thought was a Radius 20. As it turns out the tank was a Radius 20 and the rest of the parts were from a Primus 96. The stove was missing a windscreen and the NRV leaked like a sieve. When I lit the stove and pumped it the pressure dropped and the pump handle moved out on its own. Kerosene was pooling in the pump tube. Anyway, the NRV fettle is another post. After fettling the NRV I decided to make a windscreen from some pieces of tubing from an old electric brass lamp. I copied all posted pictures of the folding style brass windscreen for a Primus 96 from CCS studied them and went to work. The project took about two afternoons. Not the best, but here is the finished product: And here it is in action on the Radius 20/Primus 96:
It looks great to me; the screens I have rigged up don't look much unlike the tin can they were originally.
Hi Michael, Beautiful work! Obviously you have a lot more patience, and attention to small details, than I. When I was faced with the same problem, I spent 5 minutes with a pair of scissors and an empty soda can, and this is the result. It is an ugly and flimsy windshield, but it does the job. One advantage is that as it has so little metal, it cools off in 5 seconds. I can actually hold on the tab and pull it off a lit stove. Perhaps I should strip off the paint, to make it look a bit less ugly. Yonadav
i like the shot where the handle looks like a nose and the holes like eyes,bit of teeth there also!! and nice work too--
