Do these things work?

[Scirocco-Al" <scirocco-Al@insight.rr.com (Scirocco-Al)]

Well,  guess I should have read it rather than looking at the photo huh?  If
you are goint to make one then that's one of the better materials to use.  I
would have to check at work but I think that g-7 has better heat resistance
though.  I've been tempted to try making one in the past, but I also wanted
to put an insulator between the 2 manifolds.
