It is as Dave Holt says above the part fits between the chassis side and the bracket 131.
This photo is from my BR2 tender from one of my 4mt kits it has a very similar part. I hope it helps the pictures not the best quality as it's a phone pic to show something else.2016-03-18 14.33.51.jpg

It's now June and I have been fixing the body parts together, I have to say that I admire Dave Sharpe's work he has done with the tender you can assemble it using the tabs with-out solding it so you can see if it lines out properly. I think I have the later kit as I have been reading Richard Carr builds and there is section about building the locker part separate from the other parts.

All looking very neat, Len. The tab construction is an excellent idea allowing everything to be positioned and adjusted before fixing with solder. Much easier to un-twist a few tabs than to try to re-position soldered parts.
Just a thought. Unlike LMS Stanier tenders, the turn-ins at the top of BR Standard tender side are curved right to the edge - hard to form in a model. It might just be the photo, but your look to have tighter radius and then a flat towards the top edge - as per LMS.

I have fitted the rest of the front of the doors but you need to trim the inside to fit the coal doors but it is tight, going to be ages to fix this I should have done this first before I solder it. :(

13th of August and slowly getting on with the tender, (it's a good job they weren't as slow as me as Diesel's would have taken over before I have finished):)). I had to redo the coal spraying equipment as it didn't look right.
16288750613712052569899880781708.jpg finished the coal scuttle, that was a job making the door slide. I don't know if the door should be a bit higher (but I won't be doing it):D.
Just the Fall Plate do next, then attach it to the rest of the body.

It's really hard doing this on a phone.1628875578718699032147751103660.jpg

Just to let everyone know that we are moving in October, so I wont be doing anything to the fist week in October. At the same time I was talking to the other half about giving up model making as there is to much packing up to, so I will giving up making my locomotives and all my tools and books will have to go as well. My 9F will be the last:(

Ditto, yes do not give up Len. I have moved 4 times including 3 years in France since 2004 and like Dan still have all my tools and equipment.

ATB,
