Morning campers,
Has anyone ever needed to source spares for their Fellows cooker? One of my hob burners in my 1981 Devon has corroded so i'm looking at picking up some replacements. I've had a bit of a trawl on't web and have made a few phone calls to certain caravan breakers but to no avail.
Would be marvelous if anyone has got any tips on where to go to find these bits.
Many thanks

I hadn't even considered patching it up myself. Thanks for the suggestion.

Haha. yeah i know!
The problem i've got is that there's actually a hole that has corroded in the burner itself (you can see it in the photo) so basically the gas just leaks, pops and blows out straight away.
I'll probably give the paint a shot but i'd need to fix the hole first.

On something that rusty the best solution would be to braze up the holes - it looks like it is only thin plate rather than cast.
