Boiler part 8 - front plate redesign

The boiler plate had to be redesigned because I couldn't find a heating element similar to the original design.  The element I chose has a male 1" G-thread, which requires a matching female thread to be cut into the boiler plate. I didn't really want to attempt this in the stainless part I had cut so I bought a 316 stainless bushing adapter and cut it down to fit the hole in the plate. The adapter was brazed into place (rather than welded) to keep the distortion of the plate down.

The inside... 



























and the out.
