There's a metal flap that kind of blocks the hole, the nozzle pushes something that let's it go passed the flap and presto :-)

finally made a start on billy
skipped a few cans of brew and saved up for a sheet of 6mm ply to make a start insulating the roof, odd roof supports so I am just going to make it like this one on egay only sh***er :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302124998211
need another sheet for the back yet but need a fan before that goes on
robbed a jigsaw from the range for cutting the holes in the back doors, roof and bulkhead twelve pounds ninety nine pence fooke that suckers Image
but its only one speed
don't fancy putting it near my back doors
I will have to go back and nick one with variable speed
bulkhead out and ready for paint
but the paints still in the shop
lack of funds and time is stopping play atm :(
very frustrating :x
