Hi folks
Roy Wood and I finally got round to fitting a Chuffer to a basic, original Mamod - in fact we fitted it twice as we found a better way after the first attempt! This is probably elementary stuff to many of you guys, but , if you are interested, it is here:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the instructions, they look good. I cannot seem to access the second page on the link provided. Am I doing something wrong?

I have fitted one recently on my scrappy looking model. I have some photos in the video similar to yours. This video also gives a good idea what it would sound like on a standard model. It is using a standard boiler pressure.

Oh wow Ace - you have made my day - I just love that film :D

You are right that the link wasn't working - I forgot to activate it - it is OK now. And I have room at the bottom of the second page ....I will send you a pm.....
Cheers

Hi Chris, Thanks very much, you have a PM. Having looked at the second page of your tutorial, that is the way I have done it. I really didn't want to make the snake exhaust that you have shown on the first page (probably because I am lazy). But it just seemed a little easier to install once done.
