Thanks to all the guides and pointers in this forum and elsewhere, I've finally finished my mash tun. I now have the capability to fly sparge, but my last batch sparge was at 80% efficiency, so it may be a while before I actually use it to fly sparge.
The most difficult part was adding the upper valve, because I am cheap and wanted to reuse a bulkhead I had instead of buying a longer one for the cooler...
I originally had a braid, but decided to build the manifold so I could also try fly sparging. The manifold also increased my efficiency, so evidently there was something wrong with the way I had the braid set up.
Also, it's not apparent in the photos, but the top is filled with spray insulation. It's really heavy and keeps heat very well.
