It looks like it will be an interesting engine when you have it running. --- End quote --- Hi Peter. I don't know enough about these things, either! With me, it's fumble and learn...... :scratch: Did you see my last one? http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,9661.0.html David D |

Hi there, David, "Does anyone know where I can get a sensible length, of 1/4" x .012" spring steel?" A bit of feeler gauge stock might do???? |

Thanks Peter! Didn't enjoy the fumbling. Much too small n fiddly, for my old fingers. But, I love it now it's doing what it's supposed to do...... :thumbup: Feeler gauges....... Hmmm..... Not given them a thought, for the past 20 years, or so. No need, for modern vehicles. Just been rummaging, in my old toolboxes........ What a nice trip, down memory lane! The central one. For my first motorbike. Came from the Brighouse branch of Woolworths, 1960. Cost 1s 3d. The lower one was bought for my brand new, 1965 BSA Lightning. The top one, when I went metric. Around 1980. I've got all the spring steel I need...... Thanks for the posts, and pm's Fellas! Much appreciated. :beer: David D |
