Looking at the drawings of the boiler, I see that no dimension is given for the vertical position of the support angles on the firebox sides.
If you are building the boiler yourself, you can pick up this position off the job, but if someone else is building it for you, this dimension is needed.

Working back from the smokebox drawings in Issue 4467, the boiler centreline distance is 3" above the upper edge of the frame.

The height of the boiler centreline over the bottom of the firebox is 4.1/16" above the bottom of the fire box foundation ring, plus 3/16" projection of the inner wrapper below the ring, a total of 4.1/4". The bottom of the support angles should therefore be 1.1/4" above the bottom edge of the boiler as drawn ( i.e., 3" below the centreline)
