Excellent - thank you!

Thanks Alan, been very impressed with your work as well...... I'm glad to have been able to get back into this project. Haven't been able to spend much time in the workshop as it's been too cold lately. Can't justify heating it. The Engine has been reduced to a pile of bits now. Lots of parts and jobs to do while reassembling and prepping for paint etc and seemingly relentless additions to the Jobs List. I'm going to join a Model Engineering Club so I can have their Inspectors check the already certified Boiler over while it is in this condition- I would prefer to have this with a Current Certificate when completed in addition to the original Boiler Certificate. Today, I finished drilling and tapping the last of the tiny holes in the Cylinder Block for (18) 14BA Screws for the Insulation Cover Plate. I only had Cheese Head Screws and so had to machine each one down to a rough Round Head shape to finish properly when I finally fit them- I'm only too pleased to have been able to do all the machining work on this accurately, and Drilling, Tapping etc without breaking a Drill or Tap. Just a bit of filing and shaping to finish and it will be ready to fit onto the Boiler.
