Here is a quick draw-up of a 2x2x1 Slant Plate VM head... It has two variations of plate angle and also two variations of plate depth, 50% and 33% (.25" past halfway for 2")... I have used
this site for the volume calculations for various column sizes... For this application L=1, R=column radius, r=0, y=any arbitrary value... I just click Compute Volume and then goto step 4 and generate a table of incremental values... Every column size needs its own chart...
I actually like this idea better because it could be a bit tricky trying to get the elbow inside the Tee without a shoehorn or butchery... This issue came to mind while drafting the previous examples...
Okay, minime, off to your mad lab to do some testing...
