Cleaning up + adding the combustion chamber temp sensor.

I have been doing a bit to the engine over this weekend. I have fitted the T3 temperature sensor in the outlet from the combustion chamber to the two turbo units. I have tried to keep the sensor nipple as close to the outer casing as possible to avoid it being melted off on any hot starts I may incure.
I have also been die grinding and finishing the inside of the combustion chamber outlet splitter pipe and externally pickling and cleaning the casings.

Inside the Flame Tube. The fuel nozzle, at the bottom, and ingiter, coming in from the left hand side, can clearly be seen.
