As I will be needing two for the Sexton, I am thinking about doing a run of non functioning, reproduction methyl bromide extinguishers. The bottle will be turned from aluminum, and the nozzles will be turned from brass. I will need to do close to 20, as I can only but the aluminum in 20 foot lenghts, and it is $50 per foot. Cost will be around $325 CDN. each. If anyone is interested, let me know.

thanks, Perry

Any way to have the bottles spun? Solid aluminum is going to be heavy. Jesse.

I looked at doing them using PVC for the bodies and brass for the brass bits.

I used plastic. I think it was ptfe. All one piece, except for the nozzle, using the lathe and the milling machine. I had to make a sphere cutter first.
