David, how does it breath ?
Does it hold during neg and pos checks ?

Kev
I had a couple of problems with the first set of mushroom valves, however that fixed now It holds pos/neg checks perfectly & breathes slightly heaver that my Drager (stiffer mushroom valves) - but perfectly acceptable however if i am to be really critical I would say that it is a little noisier than a comercialy made one.

I dare say the MK1 model wont make it any further than the pool, however it was great fun to make & learnt a lot from doing so. I hope to make a MK2 soon, so any sugestions in how I could improve it.

Cheers
Dave

Take a sledgehammer and smash it into tiny tiny pieces then cover it with lighter fluid and burn it.

Then bury it in an unmarked grave.

Errr....... subtle Woz. May be harsh - maybe fair. Would certainly be fun.

But aren't you still diving a D5? I believe a similar sort of principle applies......

I'll have you know there's hardly any plumbers goo on that. Well maybe a little bit of Magic Gobbo here and there.

You've got to use something to get the 02 orifice to the right size - Oh no.... sorry, I forgot - it's one of those deliberate leak (and kinda controlled) things, isn't it?
