Here we are looking at the top of the Boiler, we are installing the
rigid staybolts into the new patch on the Crownsheet, They are a
little long, but we will cut them down to fit and save the long
pieces to make into smaller staybolts. |

 |
It was a little difficult to do this, but I got into the Boiler with
all the Tubes installed and took picture's... just so you can see
what it looks like inside with the flues installed. |
