We have a small 8" heat exchanger bonnet that is pretty much shot except for the head. My question is, can we keep the head, and replace the two nozzles, shell portion, the flanges and the pass partition and still have it considered a repair?

I remember in the old Dixie Gun Works catalogs, they had a "letter" from a customer relating how they had an antique tomahawk. "It's had 7 new handles and 5 new heads, but it's still in really good shape!". I did not realize you could do that with vessels.
