Got some news today, all the spare parts and gaskets / seals etc have departed, and are on the way in fedex boxes. They should arrive by Oct 7th. All the stuff at the platers has moved up the queue and starts being stripped next week. The re-built steam pipe had the old fittings brazed on and was dropped there too. It should all be done by about the 14th. The 3 way valve rod repair didn't take, so I had a replica done up in brass on the lathe. The glass has been left at (funnily enough) the glass printing place, and should be ready in a couple of weeks. Ordered a combo safety & anti-vac from Chris @ Barazzi, so I won't be needing a cross fitting and a bunch of adapters. Great service, ordered yesterday & arrived this afternoon! I also got a 1/4" pipe bender (another cheapy from Ebay), to bend up the replacement tubing for the new pstat.
