fitting replacement ductile iron frame, it overhangs chamber by approx 5 mm on inner edge on each long side but well onto brick top and bottom - is this acceptable - height is good

Fine for domestic foot traffic, not so for vehicles

How deep is the bed goig to be? If it's to deep you'll need to regulate the brickwork, aim for 10/15ml. Id' use building sand and cement 3/1 mix. Bed it on straight away and tap down to height.
