    Finally got it in the mail, it came with a tin box in reasonable shape and complete with tools.
    I found a wood box and made some internals to keep it as in this configuration it will be used in the car and I didn't want to mess the original box. The metho container that is original leaks so made a new small one for the box.
    Cheers

    You should have a go making them, after the first one finding the tricks they are very easy. Next is to find a fridgey or plumber to get some round off cuts of brass, this will make it even easier.

    Cheers

    After the first small round one which is made from copper as I had some copper looks ok but would prefer brass. I think copper will be easier to source but will have to see. These bottles allow me to keep the originals with there writing on them safe from getting nocked about and as most of my originals made from steel leak. These new ones are for users and of course they are long term as they wont rust.

    Cheers
