Notes

  • One piece: a base plate with the torch stand and the burner shroud on it, and a wall behind the engine. The spool hanger clamps the cross's lower run and its bar bolts to the wall with two M5 × 25 and nuts, so the whole engine hangs over the flame.
  • A window in the wall leaves room for the shroud, the jacket and its fill ports.
