    I am considering updating my optimus 207 adjustible burner to the 4 post Hanse burner. Can anyone confirm whether my extensive range of spare spindles, jets cleaning needles etc will fit the Hanse burner. Any recommendations regarding an affordable retailer would be appreciated. Basecamp appears a good starting point.

    Thanks for the helpful replies. A few posts have referred to problems priming the Hanse burners. Is this a common problem??

    Maybe it is not "a problem" but more of a feature. Hanse burner is done by casting and amount of brass to heat during pre-heating is bigger than in 'old' 207 burner.

    Same has to be done with 111C Cobra burner, which also has more mass than more lighter burner of 111, 111B or 111T.
