Hi, other than that is too wasted In places. In it's working g life it must have leaked quite bad as it was completely welded all the way round onto the barrel. The underside isn't pretty.....

would be interesting to see a pic of the underside.

As mentioned above, i would think a fabrication would be your best bet - if you are replacing the barrell / smokebox as one, would the lump cut out of the top of the smokebox at the chimney base be big enough for the flange? That would save additional expense of additional certified boiler plate!
