Avalon,
Thanks for those two links. Why didn't I think of Ebay? Duh!
Yesterday afternoon I chatted with Roy Wood who suggested doing away with the water sight plastic by soldering a piece of brass over the slot. Not wishing to disturb the two soldered bolts that secure the brass backhead, I cut a piece of tinned steel from a dog food can, the same size as the original water sight plastic & placed it on the gasket "O" ring before inserting the plastic. I bolted it up & tested the boiler on the gas stove. No leaks & completely reversible when I try polycarbonate.
Today was a good day for steaming.
