In reply to Post #423 Looks good but you're going to need a big windshield. I'll stick with my Trangia 25. Does it all.

In reply to Post #416 Sorry, only just seen your Q.
My 2 stoves have small triangular feet with holes in them, I think I'm going to drill the base and put some pegs in so they lock the feet into place. My stoves are tri leg and share the same 120 deg angle as the supports on the steady rig. Both my stoves are also 17cm circ on the feet so fit nicely. Only problem is 1 of them (Vega) has the gas pipe supported on the feet so it means I have to use the steady rigs legs at almost full height, not a problem as still quite low. I'm thinking of putting a pot support over the stove for added stability, the combo should add stability and I'm again wondering about chopping the pot stand legs and drilling the stand to take the legs, modding them as needed or just taking the legs off.
All overkill, probably not needed but its cheap as chips, keeping the grey matter ticking over and I like to fettle
A pot stand like this, 16x17cm so matches stove base nicely.

In reply to Post #411 had one of these for a few years I went on ebay where you can buy round galvanised sheet metal disc`s of your specs ( I asked for a hole to be cut in the centre)
bought 2 one I fitted with ba nuts and bolts so my Primus gravity stove legs drop on the other one is big so I can put any size stove on used it all the time on the sloping banks of the Trent very handy bit of kit and a steal at that price !!

In reply to Post #420 When I found out they existed I managed to speak with him on the phone. He said they cost too much in parts and time to make so he couldn't sell them cheap enough.
He said they were unavailable in this planetary system, but said if anywhere might have one it could be Johnson Ross. Five minutes later I got the last one!
I ended up selling it when I swit he'd to gas for what it cost me about 15 years later.
I think the screw thread was just using parts that were already made up, it's useless for the stove stand.
It did originally have little black plastic balls on the end of the stainless for feet.

In reply to Post #417 Pity Steve Neville doesn't make them anymore.
The advantage to them was the screw thread in the centre for a bankstick - great for a brew when you were 20 yards from the bank in your chest waders in the reeds.
I tried to buy one almost 20 years ago from him. Spoke to him on the phone about it and he said he no longer had the templates he used to make them as they had been lost in a fire. As the demand for them was low he had no plans to re-introduce them.

In reply to Post #418 Thanks for that. I will measure the spread of the bulin feet tomorrow.
I ordered one earlier, bloody forum

In reply to Post #416 Dug it out and it is exactly the same as Vossy’s 👍
Dimensions are:
Outside edge to outside edge ( less locking lugs) 175mm
Inside edge to inside edge ( first gap) 155mm
First groove 130mm
Second groove 110
Inner of second groove ( wedge fit 90mm)
With the lid I put on it was a was prone to sliding so used a small plumbers heat shield cloth cut to size. With the benefit of hindsight most modern day gas stoves don’t generate heat downward so not really required so a plastic lid would suffice if not too slippy 👍
Going off companies house it would appear it may be bankrupt or clearance stock at such a low price so once it’s gone it’s gone 👍

In reply to Post #411 What's the diameter of the stove stand.
I saw Singlebleeps suggestion of using something to make a flat base for a bulin, so would like to find out if the legs would fit within the circumference.

In reply to Post #414 I was too tight to buy one back then I was watching them before Xmas, but never seen them this price.
Had a quick nosey on companies House, says Rig Innovations dissolved 2013 (if its the same one).

In reply to Post #411 Bought one of these quite some years ago after seeing a review in Carpworld, probably 10+ years ago so I bought one. It was around £15 back then so these ones are an absolute bargain.
Not used it for a few years as I fish off platforms on my syndi, but it’s still in the side pocket of my cooking bag for any time I end up on uneven banks where it’s invaluable 👍
Edit: Not sure if my older one has got a couple of extra rings? What I did do was find a metal tin lid ( paint tin lid) which fits in the grooves so you can also use it with a stove with fold out legs - Coleman, Bulin T4 etc.

In reply to Post #412 I used to have a Steve Neville one, the coolest bit of stainless ever
I like a bit of shiny, bet that looked 👌 could probably buy a house selling it now if other things are to go by
