Honestly, you’d have thought I’d be bored of these by now but no! Each one is a bit different and has different needs.

This one was mostly a strip down, clean and polish job. However, somebody had converted it to electric (which wasn’t stated in the advert for it, but it was a fair bit cheaper than others, so swings and roundabouts) and both the main body and the tank had a hole in for the flex. I can live with the hole in the body, but the one in the tank is a little more critical for restoring to use!

I initially tried to used a rivet, but couldn’t get it to work so I then soldered a piece of brass over the hole.

It doesn’t look particularly pretty, but it works and it’s probably a similar repair to what may have been done for cracks and holes when in operational use, instead of throwing it away.

Due to the electric conversion, it didn’t have a burner but I found one in my spares box.

Another one saved!
