Fire bars
Hi
I’m looking for some fire bars for old Rosie (aveling and porter)approx 4/6 at the moment to replace the bowed ones There 800mm-810mm in length Dose anyone have any there not using and would like to sell Thanks in advance Please pm me Ross |
Andrew Semple of the NTET has patterns of pretty much every size, so if you end up needing some case, he'd be the person to speak to
|
What length?
|
The clue is in 810mm Bob
|
Ah , mm's did not register . Too long for me to help I am afraid .
|
If you can't find any that match maybe give fabricated steel firebars some thought? Might save some pennies plus I hear good reports on them.
|
Bridport Foundry would probably be able to cast you some.

I had a set fabricated for my Aveling BS at Statfold Engineering works and very pleased with them.

Fire bars
Was it boiler plate they used or something similar?

Had great success with inverted angle in both our Ransomes and rollers

Hi can't remember what grade of steel but they are proper job with ribs welded on etc and after a year are like new. Give Nick Noon at statfold a call if you are interested.

I also need some , 28 " in length, need 3 at the moment . Preferably in Cornwall for ease of picking up but anywhere considered.

We have had a set of steel bars in our Wallis Advance for something in the region of 15 years. Ordinary stock steel from our local stockist, 100mm X 10mm, notched at each end and a 10 MM. tab welded on each end. She does some pretty serious mountaineering in North Wales doing her level best to impersonate a blast furnace and they have stood up really well.
|
i'll try that.

On the rare occasion that it happens ,we find a sledge hammer and a concrete driveway suffice ;)

We have been using steel fire bars\ grates in sentinel " vectis knight " for several years
Same grade as used to make log burner baskets Last about 4 to 5 years and they do get BL....dy hot in sentinel boilers Last set I made last winter New steel unit with original cast unit as pattern http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=34655 Under construction http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=34654 Works out one third cost of new cast set Cheers Martin |
What sort of thickness & depth are those with larger engines running with?
I was thinking along the lines of 15-20mm thick & 6" deep for my f type? Thats just a guess imagine they want to be fairly deep to aid cooling. |

Just bought some steel 10mm x 100 mm deep enough to make four bars initially, no need for more at present as the other cast ones are good. Will cut to shape & weld spacers on in the next few weeks.
