Hi Kero. Which model is the Rothenberger please? There are a few on Fleabay and i'm not sure. Henry - Thanks for the info, I'll have a look at...
HI Mike. The rivnut/female fixing was loose as some how one of the stoves owners had managed to get the steel bolt overtightened in it. When...
I have now!! Thanks very much. I might silver solder the rivnut/female stud and then soft solder the pump back in seeing as how they are close...
I'm not sure now myself whether it does need to be silver soldered or just normal soldered. I thought that the silver solder was stronger for this...
need to mend my 111 tank after the previous post, re- stuck fixing screw. Had a quick Google around but i don't know which silver solder to buy?...
Right!!!! - I've cut the head of the bolt, the rivnut/female part promptly fell into the tank! Managed to wangle it out of the filler hole....
mine is slightly different - on the freed up side of the tank it looks to be pressed in like a Rivnut!
Yeah, thought of doing that to get the tank off the case, but once its off, anybody ideas how the now non - captive nut is fastened in? If I use...
Hi everyone. Just bought a bit of a challenger from Flea-Bay!! It's a 111, with the tank in a bit of a state. Came with a fair amount of spares,...

Photo's now in reference section.
Got this off Flea-Bay. Changed the tank cap washer, oiled the leather piston washer, replaced fibre washer with a copper sump plug washer and...
Well - I've got it! They are a lot bigger than my Primus 96!! Thought they were a similar size from pics I've seen. Changed the tank washer, made...
Thanks very much for the suggestions and idea's guys. Can't work out why they aren't a popular stove tho and go cheap on Fleabay? From what I can...
Hi Guys - I've just won a Valor Packaway on Fleabay! If it needs anything replacing, any ideas where the spares can be got from? Had a look on...
Be careful if you tweak the fuel tube - it may fracture if bent. Try spannering it further into the tank a turn or two. I have two 8R's. Both have...
I have two 8R stoves from the 70's maybe and have noticed there is a slight difference in the jets. One has the jet hole the same size all the...
Thanks very much for the kind comments guys. I like these little projects, (I only have a short attention span!!!). They interestingly break my...
Couldn't resist! Had to get this, it was half the price of my first one. A bit tatty at first but all done now. Stripped down burner unit &...
I've polished a few brass things up recently and found that T-cut gives a better & more easily achieved result than Brasso. The shine also seems...
