Thanks for the replies. I could not see anything that related to what
I have already though.

The back boilers were bought in, no fire was supplied, only the
boilers and the fireplace/ fittings were built around the boilers.

The Dunsley was a cast iron device that the grate pushed up against.
It formed the fire back and continued up for around 750mm.

The boiler sides came forward so that the fire was surrounded on three
sides by the boiler.

I have tried to find a similar device but all the Dunsley site depicts
is complete fires. No boiler details or diagrams.


Surely by the time you've rebuilt the whole fireplace to fit a back boiler
you're not going to quibble about fitting a new fireplace? Fitting a
manufacturer's own fire at least gives you some comeback if you have any
problems with lack of performance in the future.
