New BK KEJ-1101 owner with a 10/83 build date. Seems to be missing a couple parts. I believe the side tins need to be moved back toward the flue and maybe im missing a third one that goes between the bypass door and the oval cat. I would like to make the missing third tin but have no idea what it looks like. If anyone has a picture, that would help out a bunch.

I plan on making a new cat flame deflector? The old ones use a single hole. I was thinking about building a perforated one like in the new units. Any thoughts on why it would be a bad idea?

I have a new cat from firecat but it seems short about 3/8". Could i use an extra layer of gasket or should I install/weld in a 3/16" steel spacer at the ends?

I am hopeful that someone is still holding on to old parts for people like me. I can make whatever is missing. I just need to know what it looks like.

Thanks for lookin! I will post more pictures soon.
