Here's an idea on how to use the lid from a can of lynx body/deodorant to act as a shroud on a happy shopper kettle element. Here's how it goes:
Remove the lid from the can, and remove the inner mechanism from the lid like so.
Discard the can and inner thingy.
Inside the lid there are 3-plastic studs to remove. Use a craft knife to slice them off.
Remove the boil cut-off leg from the kettle element to leave a round base. I used a coping saw, all done in less then 30 seconds. Trim any remnants off with the craft knife.
Order of assembly is:
Place the base in the lid like so:
a perfect fit.
This picture shows the complete assembly minus the bin. The pins are done up hard, the rubber seal has been compressed but not crushed - just right.
And here it is in place with the bin. Looks as if it were purpose made for the job.
Job done
