Justin’s WF with KT66

“Kit arrived yesterday, everything is perfect and I’ve managed to get all the hardware mounted into the donor chassis. Because of the way I had to fit everything in, the input jack is quite far away from V1, so I had to add a wire running from the socket to the valve as well as
