Over on RMweb Mike Edge (of Judith Edge Kits) kindly pointed out that I had the ashpan sides correct but fitted the wrong way around \u2013 slope to the rear instead of the front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very grateful for this because it\u2019s an easy fix (already done) and was a detail that I was struggling to find. The GA I have only show\u2019s an outline for the ashpan and all the photos I have the detail is lost in the gloom.
\nI had forgotten to take photos of them before fitting so taking them off to swap them around gave me the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I measured the space where they were to fit and cut a strip of a sheet of 10thou nickel 30.5mm wide. From this strip I cut two pieces each 17mm long. This left a piece approx. 30mm long and I measured 5mm up from each opposite end and then cut the piece diagonally across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t sure that I have described that clearly so I knocked up a sketch in paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I had all the parts cut out, I placed each bottom edge in my hold and fold approx. 1.5 mm in and gave it as slight bend and then solder them together in handed pairs to give each ashpan side as below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
