The flue is fitted but the self tapping screw to secure the flue isn’t long enough
I thought I’d cut the flue too short but th flue is definitely all the way down. I’ve poked something in the screw hole & it hits the flue.
Anyone had this issue?
Cheers all

Cheers all Did you pre drill it cause the flu may of just pushed back without pre drilling as the tappers need good resistance to self start. |

I’ll report back tomorrow Cheers for that advice |
