Kinner Progress

[vk2dj]

Progress has been slow this past few months due to another project, have completed the rocker boxes & then started to grind the cams i then found out that i had made an error in the design of the grinder the ratios were all wrong i had a friend redo the layout on his cad program & found that i had to move the indexing head to the correct distance from the pivot point this entailed a complete strip down of the grinder to achieve this i also had to redesign the grind head & motor mounts this done i proceeded to do a test grind i then found that i had to much lift 70th instead 50th this entailed the making of a new master cam which when trialed gave me the correct lift i am now in the process of grinding the cams will post sum pix when i remember how to do it
