We bit the bullet and ordered some proper hand made stainless chimneys.
 |
We asked Alan Buckle on fuelboat Bletchley where he got his chimneys made? He told us that they were made by Adrian Brindle |
 |
So we decided that after buying several crap chimneys, that were not that cheap, only to have them fall to rusty bits in just over a year, that we would order three new double skin stainless steel chimneys and a new exhaust stack. |
 |
Adrian kindly made these, easily removable adaptors to take our existing chimney hats. |
 |
Here, one of the adaptors is fitted, minus the hat. |
 |
All ready for painting. |
 |
Adrian's pricelist. |
 |
Our chimneys, along with some for another customer. Sadly, the chimney chains were too expensive for us at this time. |
 |
All ready for delivery. |
 |
I'll have to order a fresh supply of Brasso! |
 |
I may remove the exhaust splitter in favour of blowing smoke rings! |
 |
Our previous exhaust stack was always wonky, Adrian managed to correct it from a photo. |
