Looks to be moving pretty well Rowen, - took me more than a few tries to get the reverse buckets sorted, but worth it when I did. Try making a mould of a suitably sized and scalloped bucket with air dry modelling clay, by using a wooden male plug to make an impression. Use release wax in the mould and use 6oz glass cloth with polyester resin to make a shell.
You can add strength or reinforced fitting points later. A lot easier than using plumbing fittings, and a lot lighter, and you can make as many as you like my just making multiple impressions (I've used a few moulds more than once.) My last and most successful bucket was 3mm ply with a resin scalloped interior flow director. Keep at it ! JB JB ▲

Hi Rowen, plumbing's looking good, if you have it looking like this (horizontal section pic) it should work. The bucket must stay straight (ok with the lifters you have) but the nozzle (like pic 3) must turn completely inside the bucket if possible, with a close fit to avoid loss through gaps. There also needs to be a divider/diverter in the center to reduce cross flow between the bucket nozzles when turned. You might need more of a ball end on the moveable nozzle. Pic's the general idea.
Took me a quite a few goes to get one working ok. It will look good if you get it sorted. JB ▲
