Got some parts from
@komet163b today - though I had to reach out via PM more the rest of them from his photos. The Piston/Block is different, where the donor I have has the fold over cover, which isn't on the strap tank model. Also, the donor wheel shaft diameter is to small. The stand offs between the two bases are nearly the same, the strapped model doesn't have brass inserts and it also has a different divider between them. The donor tank is nearly the same but the front cover is raised where the pipe goes and the treads are an insert (like the top fittings of the tanks). Of course the lower pipe was broken inside and just like the rounded fitting I sent to
@Paula, I can't get it out!
Another difference in the tank is that it has no screws coming out the bottom. There are actually two straps on this engine model. One inner strap to hold the heater together, then a outer strap to hold the tank to the base house! I have the main base and the base house soaking in pain stripper - not that there was a lot of pain left but using the stripper is easier than all the extra sanding that would be needed.
Still have hopes to getting this together but its fighting me for sure.
