Superheater element - Accucraft Leader

Hi All
My elderly Accucraft Leader has sprung a leak in her superheater element adjacent to the burner nozzle.
The boiler holds pressure perfectly; hydraulic and steam. The burner goes out or sputters wildly as soon as the regulator opens so I know the problem is in that area; occasionally it doesn't go out but shoots green flame (Cu) out of the smokebox.
Living as I do on a relatively remote Hebridean island, is the superheater element available as a part that I can fit myself?
Thanks in advance
N

Hi Nigel
Good to hear from you. I've been following developments on FeckHallbahn II on GSC. I hope the weather has been kind.
I can't answer your question but I'll PM Zach in case he hasn't spotted your post. He might know.

Rik
