A wee bit more done tonight ,drilled the fixing holes in the flange and welded the flange to the fire pot .
Next up I tacked up the top flange .
And then tacked that into position on the fire pot.
This was then fully welded both sides ,well almost welded overheat tripped with about 4" left to weld .
Also the Russian Lad on Ebay has let me down with the depleted Uranium sheet , so it looks like mild steel will have to do
Cheers Rob
