     I phoned up wizard and they sent me a "brochure", well dodgy photocopy 
     of what you are supposed to do.
     
     I just fancy making one myself so the works no a worry, besides I've 
     not fired my Mig up in ages :)
     
     I am very interested in performance though and your friends figures 
     seem very promising - how hot is really hot ?? I figure you need about
     70 degrees water temperature to really feel the heat.
     
     I wonder if the Wizard ones had any sort of Heatsink inside them for 
     better conduction ?? like the air ones. And do you fit two ?
