My problem is connecting the tubes to a manifold. Silver solder
might work but I'm not particularly good at it and I am very concerned
that the heat will tarnish the SS and I will not be able to polish
it after its assemebled. I am also concerned that 1250 degrees
will distort things and maybe cause problems.


I have a wide varity of metal working tools available. I can
cut the o ring grooves with a boring head on the mill or by
mounting the manifold on the lathe faceplate.

Greetings Chuck,
Instead of silver solder why not use soft solder made for stainless?
I've used the stuff befour and it works very well. The stuff I used
was made by EUTECTIC. I don't know if they are still in business but a
web search is bound to find a source. An easy way to solder all the
tubes at once would be to use a hot plate to heat the assembly. Then
apply the solder to each tube.

All State 430 is an example of this stuff that I've used...

Im sure Harris makes an equivalent and likely a few variations as well.
