Looking good Wayne, as for the split pins, have you looked at Bifurcated Rivets, readily available, but not sure if you can get long enough depending on the material you are replacing the asbestos with.
Rich.

Hi Richard,
Thanks, spot on, the same part
Appears to be used in leather work so I'll check the local saddle maker first.
cheers.

Wayne what are you going to use to replace the asbestos? I need something similar to replace asbestos on my Wiles cookers.

Hi Jack,
I have used Blue Board in the past, coated in white heat proof paint.
This is James Hardie's attempt at forgiveness by producing a cellulose fibre cement based replacement to asbestos.
This board is too hard for me as the original asbestos mat bent to shape along the rhs of the engine cover.
I am still looking for something closer to the original and am trying some fire flue companies and racing heat shield products.

Blue Board is readily available at Bunnings and other hardware stockist.

I also need something flexible to line the inside of the boiler cover.

Jack inside the boiler cover, if it can't be seen and can't escape a heater blanket may work for you. We have one around the inbuilt heater to stop the heat going up the old chimney.

Whilst waiting on several bits for my project, found some time today to make these small items for 'Wayne's Wonder Bus.'

These are replacement windscreen latch studs, Wayne will need to fit them to his new screen frames and cut them to length.
