Kenny,

Finally got around to pulling out my set of plans.  The plans I have are 
the ones that are offered through ABANA.  In DRAWING 1 top left of the page 
is a cutaway of the burner.  Part listed as #16 is the twisted strip (0.06" 
thick) and is noted as having a 180degree twist.  Drawing 1 is a blowup of 
the upper  right quadrant of page two of the second page of prints.
