Burner tray fitted

The burner tray is now fixed in position.  When trying to assemble the tray to the boiler which was already in place, the trick of raising the front end of the boiler did not work well for me.  The problem turned out to be the right-angle fitting on the front left hand boiler drain fitting, together with the handbrake pulley being too high.  During assembly, the burner tray needed to slip past the fitting and above the hand-brake pulley; the fitting was wider than the threaded pipe (also known as a "nipple" I have found out).  The cut-out for the pipe was made wider so as to slip over the fitting. All the other cut-outs lined up without any further fitting.  Dis-assembly involved unscrewing a nut on about 18 inches of threaded rod.  This sort of job used to be reserved for apprentices, but this is a one man show without any apprentices available. Everything slotted into place as the nuts were tightened on the stays.  The burner was a fraction of a cm above the pulley mounting, and there was a good clearance between the tray and the chassis.  I couldn't see any way of providing a good seal between the burner and the boiler, although the fit was fairly good.  I found it useful to use the metal frame as a support for two rope cradles to take the weight of the burner tray; each cradle being made from rope with a bowline at one end and a trucker's hitch at the other end to make an adjustable loop.
