You can see in some of the diagrams I posted early in the thread that my block originally did have a groove through the middle, but I found that it wasn't actually needed in the end.
@MadDogMe, the barbs are just balanced on there in the pic, in the test block, they will be soldered onto a fourth plate, in the real thing, i'll be using 3/8BSP barbs, with a 10mm internal bore, screwed into the top plate.
By the way, does it look to you guys like DD have stolen my idea? or do you think its just a conincidence that we've both come up with the same design independantly?
On a side note, they havn't got enough grooves, the grooves they have got are too far apart, and the barbs are too far apart as well.

i'd say its more likely that its just a coincidence with the DD design, not much you could do about it though even if they had nicked it, since i guess your design isn't copy-righted or anything
just the way it goes really, i wouldn't worry about it, its not as though they're identical (yours might even work better
)
