Hi Ray---Good to hear from you. Your rings look great. I've never had a lot of luck making my own cast iron rings. You must be getting close to the finish line.---Brian
 
Thanks for those pictures on the ring making Ray.
I will definitely have a go at making them. Is the od the same as the cylinder bore and what should I be aiming for the id.
Cheers
John

Those I made the OD .001 larger than the bore and the ID .003 larger than the piston groove diameter ...The ring end gap when fitted squarely in the cyl needs to be adjusted to ~ .003.

Hi Ray--I was wondering where you were. The governor pawl rotates on a 3/32" x 3/4" long steel pin that passes thru the pawl and is loctited into the 3/32" hole in "upper bracket-b". This is kind of a pig to assemble, as you have to pass the pin thru the pawl and into the bracket all in one go. There isn't enough clearance to let you do it any other way. It works, but it's a close thing.---Brian

what keeps the pawl in place longitudinally on the pin?

On the other end of the pawl, there is a 3/32" steel pin "Follower A" Loctited into the pawl. The other end of this pin slides into the 3/32" gap in the "Governor thimble A" The pawl can't slide off of the red pin because the pin in the other end "Follower A" can't slide out of the slot in thimble A.
 
Ray--Maybe I'm being a little slow here---There is a note beside the .094" dimension that says the hole is on the center of the plate thickness, and the hole goes all the way thru the plate. The hole actually breaks out into the hole for the socket head cap screw, but the pin itself is short enough that it stops just short of the capscrew hole.

My copy doesn't have any notes...
