I sanded the new board down a bit and it fits well now.
I didn't solder for a number of reasons: I didn't have the equipment, I had read that it's best not to if there's still water in the system, and this looked easier!

Hello, was thinking that the spacing might be an issue. Soldering water filled pipe is really difficult. Have used a wet and dry vac to remove the water, then I love fire and nice soldered joint and have all the kit.
Tho I have used one of these as a temporary repair as I didn't have any copper pipe https://www.toolstation.com/compression-repair-coupler/p68637? and haven't gone back since.

Will the board fit on top. Why not just solder a new piece?
