progress!
1. getting taller 8cm spaz feet with 10mm thread, will have an engineer rethread to 6mm and slap em under her.
2. got my drain hose hooked up today. 19mm reinforced hose, elbow and plumbers tape, drilled hole into drip tray, added some silicon tubing to the underside of the hole to fit INTO the elbow, clamped the hose to the base of the machine with rivets, drain hose out the splashback down into an external drain. i needed the drip tray to be removable to access the internals and also for an occasional clean up.
no leaks at all, until i drew HEAPS of hot water from the hot water spigot, then some overflow, but for normal operating conditions, it is simply leak free and im a happier camper.
