I finally made my mind up. There's no turning back, now! :palm: It has to be, twin pedestals, and flywheels......... David D |
| Stilldrillin:
Slow, steady progress........ Cleaned up the casting, in the single pedestal area. Marked out for crankshaft centre line, and two base pads....... Milled .03" deep pockets........ Two steel pads. Fitting snugly, in the pockets, also doweled........ Glued with sleevelock. Milled to match each other........ Two 25mm square columns. Held with m6 c/sunk screws and dowels. Drilled......... Reamed, 13mm........ Angled the column sides....... Radiused......... How it all fits together........ A quick spruce up, of the flywheels. Increased the diameter of the bosses........ Thanks for looking in! David D |
