The pictures show the finished radiator fastened to the loco, and the jig made to sweat the 2mm, half-round brass beading round the front hole. The jig was laser cut from 3mm commercially pure aluminium to my drawings by ME Laser and worked better than I could have hoped. I have become a big fan of forming taps over the last year or two. They are not cheap but tapping M2 in steel with a cordless drill is a breeze. I'd recommend them as long as you buy quality kit.

Pictures show the initial model in Fusion 360 and a purple 3D version clamped in the body, to see how it looked in practice. The other thing is a dual magneto/battery ignition control switch. This is a work of fiction as I've been unable to get a good photograph of the original dashboard. Splitdorf was in business at the time so could have made it.
