Hi Frazer for the moment i have to say i`m beat the reason i bought this valve was because it was microcosm but in reality it`s really too large even if everything worked there is no room to mount it on the platform will just have to go in the spare bin put it down to my lack of knowledge. State of affairs at the moment the platform has been stripped and the servo opening moved back 1/4"now they can be replaced without having to remove the engine just needs a clean up and paint and from now on everything put on the platform will stay on

The body shell too will need a clean up and paint tailboat fairing came in not too bad tried to copy the 1906 cad. model K not exact so will have to call it semi-scale everything fits except the rev valve

So you see still much to be done. Once done it will be time to revisit the burner hoping it will just be the case of distance below the boiler or wick size so will be off air for a little while as they say
Best regards
