Trangia Gas burner insert Info and photos please

[FGYT]

thats the kiddy cheers didnt want to pimp your pictures with out asking

the vernier says the thread is 8mm (could be 5/16" tho) and a pitch of 0.5mm (cant get the vernier on it exacly)

M8 x 0.5 is a Metric Fine thread so might find a tap to cut a nut or i could crunch a normal M8 die on it and use a normal nut

I can take mine into work tomorrow - our toolmakers will have thread gauges - I'll let you know what they reckon... (assuming it's the same thread)

Seems to be 8mm x 0.75 pitch - I've got one of our fitters to tap out a couple of square nuts we had lying around - I'll drop one in the post to you

Bikething - did I see the name Primus on the gas can end on your last piccie? Makes sense trangia going to primus being intheir neck of the woods but to allow the name to be stamped on it seems a bit lax on their part. Still both companies are good ones so at least it shows quality.

Yep.. says Primus - looks exactly like the one on the Omnifuel.
Which from a manufacturing point of view would make sense as it saves re-tooling just for what must be a 'small' production run for Primus.

oks nearly done just haveto drill out the rest of the holes marked on eth plate later so it can be usesd for lifting the wood fire of teh bottom and allowing better air flow will also be used for Hexi blocks or a pop can meths stove if ness which is why i didnt cut a large circular hole it could just clip into like teh trangia etc

still thinking the reflector is needed to keep the heat of the pipe join with out it makes a very small package

Hi Guys,
I have an EPIgas burner for my Trangia and need to replace a blocked one with a new nipple. EPI are no longer.
Any ideas or do you have thread/hole dims?
Many thanks,
B
