when you make the valve i would try and find a chimny dampen from a fire place or wood stove....if thay make on that small......I don't think that will work cus is not thick enough!
the butterfly on the jacob is....seams like a 1/4/' thick and the holes in it are much to large. what every you find is going to have to be thick cast iron metal!!
