A minor project delay.

It appears I need to move the firebox and chimney stand about 3/16" further away from the engine.

I drilled the screw holes larger and pressed wood dowels into the holes.

Now I can re-drill them all in the better location.

Moving right along....

It's been a lot of work over a long period of time. 
I am happy to report the finish line is in sight  (a few details remain).

Below is a photo update.

Enjoy,

Gil



I located the original heaters which you can see in the first post on page 1.

Wow, it looks like a completely different engine!  Spectacular upgrade, can't wait to see it running for probably the first time in decades.
