Old Glow-worm boiler question/parts availblity

[duncancallum]

Right before we start I know its ancient and inefficeant but its whats there and at the prestent thats whats staying until bank accounts healther.

Ive moved in to my house project(I will update the thread when I get a moment) but the boilers knackered.

I need:

1x pilot light supply pipe, its just a 6mm steel pipe with crush olives on so worst case it can be made up.

My main problem is I need a pilot light or pilot light jet. The jet sheard when i removed the rusty and perforated supply pipe. the pilots a single burner with a screw in jet in the bottom on a screw in fixing.

I am not going to fit these myself I have a a tame gas safe man and the father inlaw was corgi registered till he retired so I am aware of the legality. and issues. I just want to source the bits to keep costs down.


My mates ripping his boiler out in the future so I'll have some spare parts but untill then Im bloody cold.

Cheers

The ironically named Spacesaver, I actually laughed the first time I saw one.

Your best bet would be to try a large chain like Parts Centre, chances are it will be an obsolete part, but if you can get a Part No. They may be able to find one in stock in another branch and get it sent to your local branch.

sorted, pilot from ebay and a universal pilot tube and thermocouple.

Toasty. Just have a few issues to sort like a noisy pump and a few blockages.
