Centering the burner oil tube

This weekend had been quite a productive weekend. A lot of things got finalized like the lifting tongs, the trolley and the burner.

I had a problem that the oil tube in the burner wasn't aligned exactly in the middle it seems it had a bend in it, and no matter hoe hard i tried I just couldn't center it up by normal bending it in place, so I made a sort of "aim adjustment" setup.... was quite a simple and straight forward idea, but welding those 4mm nuts on was quite a hassle, the normal arc welder I use just burns the nuts away. Just be very careful and it eventually works.



Just 4 nuts and the matching bolts welded to the air tube of the burner. Remember to drill holes for the bolts prior to welding.














Result!!!!
