    Hi All

    A lamp collector friend of mine called Henry also has a few very nice stoves one of which is a very tasty early Primus twin burner :D :thumbup:

    Sadly he was missing a spirit feeder cup which allows you to put meths in the pre heater cup under the burner from the top of the stove 8) :thumbup: , So i said i'd have a go at some replacements & fabricate him a pair :D :thumbup:

    I did have one of the old ones to copy & here are the two i made :D :thumbup:

    1344022488-DSCF3019_opt.jpg

    They are made from brass with silver soldered cups & 2000 PSI copper pipe ( not that i think there will be that much pressure through them , I hope :shock: ) the cups are free to move & swivel so as they can find there own level when placed into their stove recesses 8) :thumbup:

    Stu :D

    Very nice indeed Stu and a very good copy there is very little difference in the new fabricated ones compared to the original
