Well purpose is different: the parabole focuses the light where the half round is more a "cutt off" then a reflector. If you make the half round...
The advertisement is for something else: a pump adapter. So this is more then a "simple" shutt off. I have to check but I can't remember which of...
Its not the rod but the adjustment, length that you can check.
Welcome. From first looks it is missing the complete inner burner part. Which for this model will be hard to find. But with electrocution around...
