    Just thought I'd share my take on a homemade mantle for the tilley R1 radiator, quite surprised how well it works to be honest, looks pretty awesome too, got some slight flaming on the outside but I'm not too worried about that

    @Rickylee

    Can you give the specs for the steel — thickness and hole diameter?

    Cheers

    I'm going to try this idea for my RH57 which still has an asbestos mantle in good condition. Looks great.
