Anthony, The spring clip door latch is the older version. It is fitted to my FL5. The screw type latch is the later type. Also, see the...
I have a galvanised FL6 with a greyish/ivory painted tank which has a date code for February 1969. [ATTACH]
I am sure I am not the only one to have spotted this but I have seen no previous reference to it in this learned organ. The mantle spigots of...

I have a five litre can of straight 20w oil which is a throwback to when I restored vintage motorcycles. Then I used it as damper oil in the...

Welcome to the forum Christophe. That is a fine lamp you have there and well worth restoring. You may have problems fitting an AL21 burner as they...
A man who lets his FL6 sit on the settee to watch the telly will be very welcome to the forum.:lol:
