46 Inch RAF Crash Tender

I want to make some working monitors out of brass. The plan of using the white metal version to work to didn't come off very well, It would be a big help If any of the fireboat fraternity has any plans or drawings I could work to please.

    I have tubing push fitted over straight brass tube. To secure it I have wrapped a piece of copper wire around the connection so that there is one complete loop around the tube, and then twisted the ends to tighten it. it has worked fine so far, on the discharge from a Graupner 6V water pump.
