the swiss mufflers are very long but effective
Perhaps a shorter version would do.

I looked at the photo and a memory fell out of the cobwebs.
Those were stainless steel floats from a plumbing shop.
find such things in boilers.
Joe found them relative cheap in quantity somewhere.

Joe is a Master Scrounger but not much help with OP if you can't help get them !

Nice job man!
A little bummed though. I was seriously leaning towards orange myself.

Don't let THAT change anything ArcticDave.... Orange is a GOOD color!!! There are others in that color too...

You are absolutely right. I had an orange snowmachine once...could see that thing a mile away! 
It's still my favorite choice. Black on all ironwork with orange in the covered areas.
