Hello Jim yes the write up was a bit of a novel i just got carried away

Steve, you deserve an official "atta boy". Wow, what a mess, but the finished product looked factory fresh...worth the effort, but I know such effort is a huge pain.
You do beautiful restorations my friend,
Rog
Nice job Steve, well done.
I had to laugh, forgetting to fit the boiler band, done things like that myself, just got a perfect soldered joint only to undo to remedy something i'd forgotten and the new joint isn't quite as good.
