Sounds good GJ, I've been using the straps from glass auto-drip type coffee pots.
Where did you find this strapping, hardware store?

Jensen sells stainless steel boiler straps for $2.00 USD/pair and sold same price for 2.5" or 3.0" diameter boilers. Not as cheap as coffee part straps...but my wife would frown on me borrowing those!

The strap is from a Banding machine we use at work and the strap comes in bi rolls. We us the strap to hold items on to vent polls.
the strap has a brand name imprinted on one side it is UTILUX.
this brand i think is world wide. It is a bit thiker than the origal strap
cheers g-j

Is that the same type of banding they used to use around boxes etc before the woven platic stuff replaced it?

Sounds pretty cheap to me, Rog. I've been paying $2 and $3 for used coffee
pots at resale stores. I can get 2-3 boiler straps from one coffee pot, so a
pair of them for $2 looks pretty good. Trouble is, I think Jensen straps fasten
to the top of the firebox and with my engines they need to reach down to the base.
