Yesterday the blast pipe was shortened and blast cap checked for fit.
The main steam bulkhead fittings were also shortened and the plumbing annealed and bent to suit. This gets the plumbing out of the way completely to make room for a spark arrestor.
The spark arrestor will be a necessity to prevent buildup of ash going down the blast cap now being so low in the smokebox.
Happy steaming!
