Hi Dave, and a big Ayrshire welcome to the forum.

You'll find this forum a busy, friendly and interesting one, with none of the ballyhoo you find on some forums.

Steam is the magic word here, and we can talk about it all day and never get tired.      

So don't be shy. We're all the same here, so post away.

Sandman.

Two bolts from underneath countersunk so the heads were flush they screw into two bronze bushes silver soldered to the base of the boiler.
