Paul,
I am very pleased with the Scot gap. I used G10 for the mounting slabs. You 
probably by now saw the photo on Terry's web page. He sold me the G10. He may 
have some left.*
The construction is very obvious from the photo but the measurements are 
quite critical.
The layout is obvious from the photo and the actual measurements will depend 
on the size of the copper sweat fittings. I did not machine the furrows as 
described in Scot's
original. I think my variation is easier to make and it allows for a more 
flexible
adjustment. The furrows lock you in to just one way only. Use zirconium 
drills to drill the holes. Work up to the final size in several steps. I used 
a fine-toothed metal cutting blade on the band saw. Also, I don't think it is 
too great an idea to inhale the cutting dust. I went
to an elaborate contraption to hookup the vacuum cleaner to catch the G10 
dust.
Hope this helps.
Good luck on the project.

Happy day,
Ralph Zekelman
