Would one of you guys who own an L5 please be kind enough to give me the dimensions of the chimney?

I got the wreck off 'the site' the other day and it's missing one. So it's out with the hammer and socket again!



Many thanks

Gosh - that was quick! I love a challenge (or maybe I'm just gullable!). Yours looked soooo cool I had to have a go.

Internal - the chimney is a tightish push fit on the steam dome, maybe run a rule or calipers over the steam dome to get a better idea, mine is tight but not overly difficult to push on or pull off.
