McOnie update

Hi All
Spent some time in the shed recently and managed to hack out a few
bits and pieces.
Photo 1. All the pieces for the governor assembly.
Photo 2 & 3 The governor assembled on the engine.
The 5/8" steel balls came from a supplier in the US called The bearing ball Co,
these are not hardened and so were easy to tap 8ba.
Also they were cheap, about $5 for 5 free post to Aust.
I will tackle the water pump over the next couple of days.
Cheers
Mike.

That's a nice looking engine Mike, have you posted earlier parts of the construction? And BTW where did you source the balls - they could be useful for ball-ended things.

You really need to make a ball turner Jim!

Hi Jim
Yes there have been three or four posts on the construction starting about Nov 2011,
And I found the balls on an ebay store called The bearing ball co .
Regards Mike.

You are probably right Tel, I will add it to the list.
