Nice work Ed. It looks great as is.  Nothing else needed.

For the new folks these are made from two Zero Haliburton deep drawn
.065 inch wall thickness aluminum cans. The dimensions are four inches
OD with a nine inch height giving a pressurized water reservoir of 113
cubic inches  or about half a gallon. We could not find thin wall 4
inch tubing. 

What does it weigh Ed?

That is a 30 psi pressure cap on top to raise the boiling temp to
about 290 degrees F with 80% ethylene glycol and 20% distilled water
at sea level.
At 10,000 feet the boiling temp would drop to about 285 F. 90%
ethylene
glycol would bump up the boiling temp another 25 degrees F.
