derrilex Thought I better do some knobs for my 99. This is the hot water. Just have to turn up a plug for the end. Just starting on the steam now.

I have a nice big deep almost triple basket that fits the GH but that ridge just sticks up a fraction too high to go into the Group head. Tap around in a circle with a hammer and anvil?

The round rolled edge is for strength and to have a reliable seal under pressure Please note that the basket has two things to worry about if tampered with They are placed under pressure and heat Those two forces together will find a weakness quickly I recommend that you should NOT tamper with it KK

As per KK, don't try to mod the filter basket. What espresso machine do you use? If it uses a rubber group head seal, you might be able to obtain a thinner one.

derrilex I wasn't too fussed with the previous knobs I did for the BZ so I knocked some more. Bigger one for steam and smaller one for hot water. Amazingly huge difference in ease of use over the originals which had to be used with the finger tips. The larger knobs can be used with the palm ( :rofl: :rofl🙂 Truth is, I 5 mm'ed myself. I measured 42 and in reality it was 47. Anyway, they work great and I'm happy with the colours. My machine looks like it belongs in the madi gras now 😃
Koffee_Kosmo I like the new resin I don't like the dirty machine Polish it :stir Said tongue in cheek KK
derrilex Its not that bright in real life. The flash plays tricks. It is, unfortunately, that dirty. My fingers all over it playing with knobs
Seeya_Latte Hi Derrilex have you thought about something along the lines of the cog style steam and water dials like on the Wega? George
