Removed the valve
Filled with warm water to displace the gas and then filled with warm water and bleach (Tesco pine fresh) works the best (was used on the gas plant i used to work on untill the HSE muppets put a stop to it)
Cylnder with valve removed, all gas removed and stench removed
Marking up the door for cutting
Hinges in place with duck tape
Hinges in process of being fitted
Hinges fitted (will be removed for cutting)
Top handle cut off using a grinder and 1.0mm cutting disk
Hinges re fitted after making first cut.
Finished cutting door and removed all sharp edges with a file.
Nuts fitted to back of door bolts theese were also tapped out to M6 so i could fit hinges before the door was open.
Top ready for marking out the 4" hole for the flue
The hany tool i made for marking out the hole its a pencil glued to the valve the tip of the pencil is 2" from the centre of the screw thread
i marked out the circomfrance of the hole and then witness marked it in preperation for cutting (a pencil line will just burn off and you will be lost
Ready to cut 4 holes put in to avoid having to burn through the thick threaded collar
All ready to cut (now where did i put that sparker)
Hole cut about 1/8" inside witness marks to alow fine tuning when i aquire a bit of pipe for the flue
Hole cut just need to find a pipe for the flue and make my baffle plates
