Hey All
I'm looking to retrofit a Sirai pstat on my older Simonelli Oscar that has mater on it currently. I was hoping to find a US vendor that offers a kit similar to the one pictured here at http://www.elektros.it/en/oscar-modification-kit.html (near the bottom of the page)
Anyone know of a US vendor where this can be bought as a kit?
Or if you've done this mod yourself what was your part and vendor list?
I'm also wondering is the bracket necessary? Or can I get a L bracket from a hardware store and make it work. Same with the copper tubing?
Thanks for any help!

The first Sirai fitted Oscars had no bracket , safety valve cover , or brass washer for the cover.
The bracket and the connecting tube are available only from NS , possibly elektros
The T fitting , Pstat , and safety valve cover are available from espressoparts.com
Earlier Oscars will not have holes thru the top of the frame to attach the bracket , and if drilled , screw heads might interfere with fit of older top cover.
I took a thin strip of stainless made a hole for the pstat and put a right angle bend to rest on top of the top frame rail.
The tube , 6mm braze on tips or compression fittings or the two piece Yar-locks , then you need 1/4 bssp nuts....

Thanks plindy!
This a huge help. I'll probably save the few bucks on the support bracket and make it myself. Time to order and get this Sirai installed.
Thanks!
