And it truly was a generous lump from Andrew! :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: --- End quote --- Thanks Steve. :beer: It certainly was! --- Quote from: awemawson on April 20, 2015, 04:45:15 PM ---Glad to see it used David. I stashed that away DECADES ago :lol: --- End quote --- Hi Andrew. I've had it maturing, on top of the wardrobe, since November. It was a real pleasure to machine. Cutting very sweetly. The final thou', was very easily controlled. Using the usual 6" rule, and 2000 grit wet n dry........ :thumbup: --- Quote from: Manxmodder on April 20, 2015, 05:23:38 PM ---I wondered when the graphite piston would appear. Very nice it looks too :clap: :clap: . If memory serves me right the original bore was 1 5/16" (1.3125"). What size are we at now,David? .....OZ. --- End quote --- Hi OZ. Thanks! Not exactly sure on dia, as it was a hand rubbed final finish. Not far from 1.295". Thanks for all your interest, Chaps! :thumbup: David D |

I finished off the crank assembly, yesterday. Test run went ok. At the other end. The 5 thou thick shutter, runs in a 25 thou deep recess. I thought it was rather a sloppy fit. :scratch: So, I milled off 10 thou, best I could, then polished the face, on a flat surface....... It's now, gone from a popper....... To a quacker........ A blummin LOUD quacker! :bugeye: Sheesh........ David D |
