EG-40-PI parts in a hurry

ReluctantDIYer

Good evening all,

I need a part pronto for my WM eg-40-pi, specifically a back burner support 451-800-087. It seems that the former back support bar for the burner pipes has rusted to dust and one end has fallen to the floor. This wouldn't be as alarming to me as it is if it wasn't for the facts that first something that's not supposed to be in contact with water has rusted to dust, and second the left 2 burner pipes no longer like to stay aimed in the general direction of up.

Every place I can find online when I query the part number says "not a stock item" and "will ship in X days". While I have a MacGyver solution in place, I'd really like a quality solution in a more immediate time frame. I'm thinking more like tomorrow-ish, not 2 weeks. Can anyone suggest a supply source that can help in a hurry. I'm on Long Island in NY if anyone knows a brick and mortar source, Feel free to private message me if there's a taboo about naming names or anything like that, I don't want to cross any lines or get anyone into trouble.

On a side note, I have a feeling I'm pretty boned with this boiler if the underside has bits rusting to oblivion. Is there any reason why a steam boiler that's not a goner would have rusting bits underneath?

Thanks again for any insight. I have the local P&H company coming over next week, but this is an obvious problem I'd like to address immediately.

The boiler is probably leaking somewhere above that support. If so, time for a new one.
