wiles junior
Does anyone know where I can get some gland packing to suit the water pump on a Wiles Junior Cooker. I need to overhaul mine so it doesn't leak so much. Is it special stuff peculiar to a Wiles or is it available at bearing places?

Just for interest I dug up my Wiles images and from what I can see this one had the boiler number 12635. I thought I had an image of the nomenclature plate but cannot find it.

Thanks, Bob. I would be surprised if it is the boiler number: even the late production ones only reach 4 digits like '2600' - at least the ones I have seen and the records I have. Boilers have lots of dates and digits on them, as they were stamped each time they were tested. The longer in service, the more numbers. That number just seems too large for the boiler production number. Can you send the image to my email address, perhaps?

Heres one in my area ( Yass ) Don't have boiler number on hand but can get it. Mike, are you collecting details on Junior cookers also?
Robert.

Hi Robert,
Yes, in an effort to try and unravel the complexities of Wiles steam kitchen production, I've also been collecting the Wiles Junior info as well. The Wiles you show images of is quite early - build number 270, which should have Oven number 668, so a check of both the boiler numbers and the oven number would be appreciated, please. Regards Mike C
