I had originally thought that I would be able to using my old branch forks and just re-bend the tubes so they would line up. Once the burner was assembled it became clear that this was not the case. I opted to stay with the curve tube design mainly because of it's elegance. These forks are a copy of what was on the vehicle when I got it. They are constructed out of a 5/8" Stainless Steel tube with a plug in welded in one end and a Hydraulic flare nut on the other to attach it to the main vaporizer. The forks are 5/16 Stainless Tube that have been curved with the ends threaded to accept the nozzles. Oddly, they were easier to construct then you think.
