Thanks Dave. I should have spent more time searching. I guess there are many possible approaches. One was to take the three tabs on the newer ring and shove them into the leg socket. I thought that was odd, but that is exactly how the ash catcher ring was installed on my 2003 SSP when I got it. I may go that route with a new ash catcher assembly since the metal handle on the pan is rusted pretty bad (as is the bar that holds the ring) and the pan is beat up. Basically just upgrade/update the whole dang thing. Thanks again Dave.
