Yes, she looks pretty good with the skirt up, but won't show her face just yet.... 😃 Thanks KK for the tip re the permabond - I went to Reece who were out of stock, but they gave me a couple of sample bottles which is all I need to get the job done. The Bezzera combo valve was actually too big; that's why I had to move the T-Piece down to where the steam line runs from. Without the T-piece there, it does fit though; just.... The textured aluminium arrived today so I'll visit the sheetmetal shop tomorrow to get them to make a copy of the trim, then it goes back to the platers. The gold trim in the pic was just to see how it looked (it's the old corroded one)
