Has anyone on the forum built the 1.5" shay with a straight boiler rather that the tapered one from the Kozo book? If so did you use the same number of tubes?
I ask this for two reasons firstly the actual shays of this type that ran down here in Australia had straight boilers and secondly i have a supplier who can provide seemless copper pipe for the boiler outer that is the right size(give or take a few mm) and corect grade/wall thickness to comply with aussi codes...Chris
