Have some 1/8 od x 1/16 id copper tubing and have been unable to locate soldering fittings such as elbow and tee fittings. Have seen these on small engines. Can anyone help.
Thanks

My 1/2 scale model of Roy Ozouf's grasshopper crosshead engine. 7/16 bore x 3/4 stroke. All dim. were held, just changed some looks to suit my own tastes. Very good runner on 3# of air.

Unable to post a video of this engine so if you go here you can see my latest for whatever it;s worth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XS5rYH7H5c&feature=youtu.be
Another very interesting engine to build. Turned out pretty good, but can only get it to run for a few minutes as my little air brush compressor will not put out enough volume of air. Still want to finish Brians hit & miss steam engine at half size so I guess this is my next project. No videos...
I really enjoyed building this engine and hope to do more. Sorry no videos, don't know how to do yet. My thanks to all you guys on this site for all the info. and ideas you have provided. This site is just amazing.
Hope I am doing this right. This my first engine, it"s based on the " Pip Squeak" with a few changes. 1/4" bore x 3/8 stroke, and it runs like a champ after a few changes.
