Luton Bowman PW201 It is the wrong base, needs cutting to size, no burner or chimney.

I'd suggest using a Meccano strip as a template to "jig drill" the new holes round the edge when you reduce the base. It's much the easiest way to get them in the right place. Chimneys and burners aren't too hard to make.

That certainly didn't take you long   , are you going to cut the base to the right size or leave it as it is??
