Default Case of cute parts

Hi Gordon, AJC,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes it is a lot of work but sure satisfying and fun. When I got into turbines 6 years ago I did not anticipate becoming a CAM CNC jockey as well...
Attached a pic of the case hiding them cute parts, not to shabby either.... But credit goes to my pal Rob there, as it needs a pretty heavy (read costly) CNC spinning machine to form regular 316 Stainless into that shape from flat sheet.
Why 2 Festo's when it only needs Kero you may ask? Well the festo closest is the return to the fuel tank system which allows the system to prime automatically with no operator intervention during startup. The gizmo in front of the plug is the fuel atomiser insert. Sorry, no detailed closeups available...
Cheers
Andre
