    Hi I just picked up an old Chalwyn storm lamp I believe it's the E57. It does not have a wick in it so I'm trying to find out what the size is.

    Can anyone help?

    Cheers Bill

    @billathome65 Measure the burner wick outlet width Bill and get on the blower to Base Camp. They’ll know what’s required.

    Cheers its half inch I found a bit of the old wick in the base. Are new parts easily available for these. I've sprayed it with stove paint and the filler cap doesn't look in the best of condition.
