Re: Anzani Pilot Water Tube

Good work Tom,

I like the idea of tinning with solder and may use that in future.

As you probably already know, the other potential problem area with the Pilot is removal of the exhaust tube from what is essentially the mid section. Problems arise here because the screws that secure the exhaust tube to the mid section have been over-tightened. This causes a small flare in the mid-section, but just large enough to prevent the exhaust tube from sliding off easily. The solution is to loosen the screws and whilst still in place, tap on them gently with a small hammer to reduce or eliminate the flare caused by initial over-tightening of the screws. The exhaust tube should then slide off fairly easily.

Would love to see pics of you Pilot when completed.
