Sadly still haven’t been able to find the correct replacement for this despite the kind help offered by various people including on here. The...
Thank you, yes I saw that however I was trying out Alec’s suggestion from earlier in this thread first.
I tried using silicone grease instead of the o-ring last night and it certainly makes an improvement. I’ll do some more tests before I decide how...

Hi all, another question which I'm hoping may have a simple answer i've just missed! Apologies if this has been covered else where I had a look...

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try the submersion test and report back!
Your 8r conversions sounds great! Good spot I need to flip that shield! As I understand it the 8r style heat shield is correct early 99’s such...
Not so many in the UK either so I was surprised to be able to get two complete ones in short succession
That’s what I thought to at first to but I’ve tried replacing the leather twice now, both times with replacements from fettle box.
Realised I didn’t post any photos of the box. The instructions were for an 8r on the earlier stove, and much more utilitarian than the later...
