Now I started I cant stop

Sorry Steve I never saw the pic properly with the writing saying coolant pump, for some reason only some of the pic was loading, makes sense now
If the end plate is aluminium it won't braze so your liquid metal sounds like the best idea, I wonder if you could stich the outside in some way to hold it or a plate across.

my brother is a coded TIG welder .... if that helps ?

Had a quick look at how I can fit thing together today, its a shame due to Regs I cant run a V pulley and link all 3 together, would be the simplest and look the best in my opinion!







But, looks like im going to have to use direct couplings for the dynamo, might be able to get away with the water pump :whistle: using a round belt, need to get it to the hight and level so I can get a decent measurement, looking like 5 1/8 of the deck, should be able to bolt something together to get it to that!





The pump is going to be a pain, could do with the inlet and out let being in a different place as its going to be a pain getting them around the drive belt but sure I will work it out.
Once on a base is should be around 2 foot square.

Cheers Steve

Steve what do you mean by Regs you can't run a vee pulley and link all 3? Also what easy were you going to run?

Stu.

Think I should be able to do it, been doing so reading, I just shouldnt the flywheel 90 degrees to the fence.

Cheers Steve

New bush made, very pleased.



The wear on the old one became quite apparent.







Compared to the new





One less job to worry about, just got to fit it now!

Cheers Steve

You wouldn't expect that much wear, is it getting enough oil?

Stu.

Well it is 81yrs old, it has since I had it.

Cheers Steve

Well if the next one last another 81 years it can't be bad, best make a note on how to change it coz your memory won't be too good at that age

Stu.

If I reach 81 I will be doing well lol, it was worth having it done for £28, just need to get it in when I have a spare minute, was going to do it Tuesday, but now have to drive over to Henlow for a medical review board.

Cheers Steve

Hope all goes well with the medical and let us know when you get it fitted.

Stu.

Piston is on, reamer did the trick, thinking i should have done the big end same time......

better get looking for piston ring, about 1/8” broke off the end, and the securing the gudgeon pin will never come out again, the threaded part is split at the end so it can be spread to stop it unscrewing, one side broke! not having much luck.


Cheers Steve

Sounds like you need to use a smaller hammer

Stu.

Had a quick play about with a setup tonight, please excuse the red nasty, helps me get a Idea of where every thing is going to go!







Cheers Steve

Steve if you need some galv pipe and any threads put on them so it all stays the same I can do this .
I keep pipe and elbows in stock if that will help you out

Hi Jonesey,

Thanks for the offer, im going to stick with the copper for the mo, easier to adjust as im not 100% where its all going to fit!

Cheers Steve

No probs
Jonesey

Little bit done tonight





Needs to be tided up but need to start some where!


Cheers Steve

still looking nice steve.
so when you going to sell her to me m8.

Would seem my Scott is a bit odd, been trying to buy piston rings, would seem standard bore is 73mm but mine old heavily worn ring would say other wise, looking like it is 78mm and on measuring it is, now that a hell of a over bore at nearly 200thou (100thou from each side), having a dig and getting another Scott measured!

Cheers Steve

good luck steve.with rings m8.

I can get rings no problem, just odd this ones bore is so large, and the fact is No 25 in production with such a large over bore with a scott piston seems a little odd, just more to research!

Cheers Steve

I like researching all part of the fun I possible know where there is one, just waiting to hear back on it.
Might be sorted, a mate meassured his and it look like there is either a misprint in the sales stuff or the sale info is a pre-production model.

Dont go killing yourself Dave! take it easy, get a chair out and start barking the boys about

Cheers Steve
