The tank had a couple of hammer marks, I popped them out with air then bondoed up the ripples. Turned out ok. Don’t want it to look too pretty otherwise I would worry about it getting scratched!

Looks great. You just need the wind shield that fitted around the burner.

Derk,
Thanks, Yours are the first images that I have seen of a leaded-fuel warning plate on a Coleman 500. Very interesting! Colin

And another one......
Well I had enough parts left over to put another stove together. I’ll put it in my carrier for display so didn’t worry about fixing the dents in it.
I’m also making heat shields for them for now until I find originals. Derk

Nice work, Derk.
And I suspect if the last one is cleaned up, it will make a great plant stand in the living room! David

So I finally finished my reproduction heat shields for my stove. They will have to do until I find a set of originals. Thanks to Rob Love for giving me a lead on a generator for the stove. Now I just need to find the fitting to hold it in place and also a valve assembly. There’s always something to look for!
I’m also looking for my No 2 cooker a grill and one of the folding legs if anybody have in their spare pile of parts?? Thanks,Derk

It figures...........
I no sooner finished replicating the heat shields for both my Coleman stoves when on Saturday I find 2 more stoves and they are complete with heat shields!
I went through a lot of trouble making them but the nice thing is I now have originals and I no longer have to look for valves & generators for the ones I have. In fact the one good stove doesn’t have a dent in it anywhere! The other dented one will be for parts to complete my stove with the warning plate strapped to the tank. It just proves if you look long enough, the parts eventually show up! I even found an aluminum Wartime dated mess tin that I have been wanting to find for some time now. Only the large outer one but I’ll be hunting for the inner one! The looking never ends! Derk
