Leslie bronze tab back diffuser plate repair.

Post by locomotivehornadict »

Made bronze rivets on lathe to reinstall the diffuser plates the way the factory did. The chambers in the vid were on a CNW Leslie S-5T 1954. They had 16 penny nails for rivets and the heads rusted and hit the dias. Screws would be fine but wanted to be 100% original.
