arnoldb said:Phiber, nice solution. However, won't that configuration compress the spring too much? - maybe shorten the part entering the column a bit.
You might find a spring from a ball-point pen - try some "cheapy" click-pens with thin-diameter refills to see if you can find one.... Think BIC
If I may offer a suggestion... - For my Fancy's flywheel, I needed a shorter 3mm grub screw as well; I just stack the grub screw on it's correct size allenkey to give something to hold onto, and ground it down with the bench grinder. A full tin-can of water helps to cool it down every once in a while; if the can is not full, it is difficult to keep the grub screw on the allenkey when cooling.
Regards, Arnold

Based on how fast you banged this together, you have the skills to drill the cross hole. Thm: Just do it.

Post again with a scale (or coin ;D).
The finished engine will impress more. I mean it already impresses..but the coin...you know...ahhh
90LX_Notch said:Great job! Didn't you feel good after drilling the hole?
Are you going to go for the 1/2 scale next?
