Guest Posted 1 July , 2019 Share Posted 1 July , 2019 I've for som odd reason been given permission by the Danish police, department of public safety and fire authoroties, to build a replica Kleif flamethrower. I'm waffling between making either a M1916 or M1917 Tom W.'s flickr stream has provided me with a bunch of nice photos and one technical drawing of a M1916 Any and all technical specs/drawings og the later Kleif's are much wanted. Specifically dimensions, other than the ones on the image below. PS: Don't worry about the safety of the engineering part - this is pretty much my profession - pressure vessels, combustion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1871 Posted 1 July , 2019 Share Posted 1 July , 2019 Sound's like you may be feeling like a KID again, about to build a favorite toy. If you are a mechanical engineer , or similar, I would suggest the simplest design first, if work's, then build the other next. Just remember, show us PIC's. PIC's PIC's Pleeeese!😊 good luck.

Admin DavidOwen Posted 1 July , 2019 Admin Share Posted 1 July , 2019 There are a few technical bits in the write up on these M1917 pictures from AWM https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C239459?image=9 These pics from IWM look remarkably similar to the pics in the AWM and do have dimensions on them: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205270471 https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205270466 Good luck with the build and don't forget the Nomex when you test it!

asanewt Posted 1 July , 2019 Share Posted 1 July , 2019 Hope it goes as well as our prototype. 1950 version. Aluminium bodied bicycle pump, "pool" petrol from a milk bottle. The designer operator set fire to his Dad's shed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
