    Progress report...

    New gaskets, Nrv pip and pump washer....
    Autosol polish....
    Now for the trivet...

    Purchased a portable electric oven and heat resistant pot belly black paint as per @Tony Press recommendations.

    A standard "Primus" type jet does not fit as the threads and size of the jet are of a larger size, an Nrv removal tool was required to remove, The original jet was semi blocked with soot that a good soak and a prick sorted out, a test run tomorrow will hopefully confirm all is good as the hypodermic option is not in line with my timeframe or confidence at this point.
    Shims to raise the legs pending,
    @ROBBO55
    The legs with the stove are also 6.5 inches there abouts.
    Strange they are not tall enough...


    Kind Regards

    @Scott B
    I’ve been enjoying your progress reports!
    Not sure if you might want to “de-Rust” the pan ring/trivet before painting?
    This has worked well for me:

    A long overdue update,

    The Lanray No 4 restored and ready to be passed on to an amazing uncle.
    The gift was received with great excitement and appreciation.
    Additional accessories added to aid in future morning coffee on the farm.
