Idris on meths

Post by black cat » Fri Feb 06, 2015 8:48 am

I ve found various drawings online for Idris but I m looking for meths burner measurements but there are none on the drawings for burner diameter and the height could either be 6mm or 61 !Its not 61 but is 6 mm enough..Seems tiny even for Idris?

It's shown as 16mm (sixteen mill) on sheet seven of the complete set of Idris drawings accessed from Dave Watkins website for download.

Wick tubes - material is 10mm and the supply (feed) tube 3mm. Twin wick tubes located 26mm (centre to centre) apart with a total horizontal feed tube length of 65mm from tank face to end cap.
