    Got this for a refurbishment project,I knew the flame spreader was missing but thought I would have a go at making one. Meanwhile borrowing one from a 17B.
    Having looked at several great threads here I notice the flame spreader should be a cast one. Don't suppose anyone can advise where I might obtain one.
    Also noticed that the travel cap was missing which leads me to ask what was the standard accessory kit that came with this stove. I would like to refurbish to original spec.
    Getting back to the travel cap - have I seen some with a domed top and one with a flat top? Where might I get dimensions and thread size/type - any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any advice

    Hi @magpiestovie

    @Twoberth may be able to advise on thread size etc as he made a snuffer (travel cap) for his own Monitor (as well as his own Monitor case which is an absolutely stunning piece of engineering!)

    Worth calling The Base Camp to see if they can help you with a Monitor flame spreader (cast type). Mike there is always very helpful.

    Best regards

    the internal thread is 5/8” x 28.
    The drawing is courtesy of @Ian , and the thread size from @loco7stove.

    Thanks again for the drawing, I was trying to work out the size of the hole in the top . I assume it's for the storage clip in the stove case, but can't understand why it is off centre. Any ideas
    Regards Alan

    It’s not off centre.
    I had the same concern about the size of the hole when I made my first one. I am sure it is just so the storage clip end fits into it.
