Nah, mate, much more fun making the dedicated one :cool:. Also needs a hole up the middle to let the air out. Beauty of being retired is that there is time for such little projects as well.

Would be interesting to know what OS uses for filaments in the G5, whether it is platinum like in ordinary glow plugs, or something even more exotic. Or maybe a lot less exotic, as platinum ain't...
