Hi
Confident that I have the regulator sorted its time to start assembling things. The regulator body is fixed to the boiler by 2 stainless steel screws. Plenty of thread seal was applied
Followed by the tube that screws into the regulator through the bush in the smoke box, using the tool to screw it in. Thtread seal used again
Followed by the wet head bush which screws into the bush in the smokebox and at the same time screws onto the tube from the regulator, using the tool to screw it in. thread seal used
Then the wet head and super heater
Remember I said I was confident about the regulator. I spoke too soon
The regulator inner dome won't fit over the regulator
Strip it all down again. Make a split collet to hold the central bolt and shorten it
Now it fits. Make a gasket and bolt it on
The backhead has its cover fitted. Then the regulator bush, handle, water guage, blower valve, firehole door etc
The rear section of boiler cladding with a couple of brass bands
The cover on the front of the firebox and the cover over the firebox
The front section of boiler cladding with 2 more brass bands
The boiler clack valves fitted,one each side
2 blowdown valves fitted. One each side
The boiler is pushed firmly into the smoke box. A couple of screws, one each side is all that is needed
The following 7 photos are more trial assembly work
Cheers
