Update...

Here are 2 photos of the Stuart fittings original to this boiler. I fitted the glass tube and tested with air pressure and water. No leaks!
 
The new pump wasn't holding water in the boiler so I opened it to access the check balls and gave them a tap to better seat them. Also added a spring to keep the exit check ball more firmly seated. I will need to inspect the spring after a few runs. I think it is steel and will deteriorate quickly. )OK for testing but wants to be brass)


I have also pressed in a new crosshead pin as the original was well worn.
