    Just wanted to share pics of two Draft Shields I've fabricated, for my Tilley R55 and R1A Radiators. One is from an old Grease Gun Tube and the other is from and old Aluminum Instruction Plate I had laying around. They both work great! I was able to bend the handles (the Grease Gun Tube Shield Handle, had yet to be "custom" bent in the pic) to allow the shields to get as low on the Vaporiser and as directly over the flame of the Preheat, to get the most heat up the Shield.

    Special thanks to "Matty" for the dimensions for the Shields! 1449528371-Grease_Tube_Draft_Shield.jpg 1449528384-Aluminum_Draft_Shield.jpg
