Changing Glass on a ParkRay

[SteveW]

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how easy it is to change the glass on a Parkray Chiltern (Mark 3) ? Is it as straightforward as unscrewing some nuts and sliding the glass out or does it involve smashing the glass and properly fitting it ?

Not suire about that exact model but...

Usually there are some (well corroded) screws holdiong clips in that hold the glass in place. You will need more (not) asbestos string or whatever to go round the edges - there is always a lot of expansion to cater for, so fireproof putties are seldom used - and you need some sort of seal.

You may smash the glass getting the screws out. A good plavece that deals in solid fuel applinaces can normally get you all the bits.
