Bill. My thoughts are to plug, and re drill. No problem! The flywheel o/d is also roughed oversize, only. Story here...... http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=3881.0 When I finally clear the tuit backlog, it is one of the first in line. But, I doubt that will be this year....... ::) David D

Hi Bill. Just watching, quietly. ;) I held my breath for you, over the last few postings. Here's my part built, as received........ Wishing you continued good luck, with the rest of the build! Thm: David D

John. We are so very sorry to hear your sad news. Don't have the words...... But, our thoughts are with you. David and Christine.

Thinking of you, and yours, John...... David D

I removed the silly little oilers and fitted top hat plugs........ Works a treat.... For me! ;)

I have seen a few examples at Mod Eng shows, apparently 2/ 3 times the std size, & all worked very nicely on a small light bulb.

To all members & lurkers, A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS David.

Through all those years in engineering. Imperial, metric, then back to imperial, then (now) a modern day mixture....... No problem! ;) Until a schoolkid uses centimeters....... What size is that, then? ::)

Nice one, Bob! Hmmmm..... I have just remembered...... Long ago, I made a pair of screwjack blocks, drilled & tapped for 5/8 whit capheads. Still got `em, somewhere..... The blocks measured 1.75" x 2" x 2.25". Guess they`ll be 44.45 x 50.8 x 57.15 blocks? ;) Kludge. I spent the last 20yrs...

Oh!........ YES, it is! :o (After 7 attempts to punch ALL the correct keys, in correct sequence)....... ::) Nice one! Thanks....

Hmmmm........ I learned of 1 2 3 blocks, on here, last week. That`s after 40+ years as a production miller in rock drilling manufacture! ??? ::) But I did have a large selection of assorted parallels..... ;)

That`s marvellous! :bow: Stillgrinnin ;)

That`s a pity.... He and Steve Cedge were the reason I began lurking on here.

I`ll be watching CC.... ;) Cliff, All the shop`s cranes & all slings, chains etc were (still are) correctly inspected annually. This particular crane had been in use over many years, servicing the lathe. The operator knew his crane, and not to apply sideways loading when against the limit...

Hi CC! I made it to the last 2 Harrogate Shows. Unfortunately, my feet don`t do concrete floors, (or grass) for long periods, anymore. But, if I`m still reasonably upright when the time comes, I hope to be there...... ;)
