Cast iron insert needs arched fireback
I've got a 1930s house The previous owners have ripped out/thrown away the cast iron fire inserts and board up the fireplace. I have purchased an arched cast iron fire insert from Gumtree but the backplate was missing.
Where do I get a replacement fireback for an arched cast iron fire that would fit exactly (tried ebay and no luck). Dimensions of the arch part opening are 42cms(W) x height to lip 48cm (height to top of arch itself 62cm). The insert itself is 96cm (w)x 950cm (h).
Many thanks in advance - in Glasgow

Hi,
I see you've tried ebay, you could also try scrap yards, reclaim centre or even the local blacksmith would possibly form you one,
Good luck
