Pipe and Bolt Engine Mod-Up
shipto:
I just realised we only have 2 weeks to finish :bugeye: all VTsteams fault fancy doing this during the cold months :wack:
Aaaaaanyway I spent a bit of time today on the fly wheel and piston which I decided to remake as I wasnt happy with the first one.
I started off by thinking about the framework that everything will sit on and made a start on that and then fixed the piston end position, I left it very long as I am not exactly sure how I am going to fix it.
A little bit of the bar...erm I mean homemade bolt that I totally made before cutting it down again to make this :lol: was turned for the piston end before pressing it onto a short length of chromed tube and then constructed the outer tube. I am much happier with the new piston.
I am going to have to put some hours in after work if I want to have a hope of finishing this in time :doh: especially since I dont have a complete plan, so pray for warmer weather.

Russell, I am waiting to see this running painted or not. It looks good. One of the members of my local club has recently bought himself a small plating kit so if it were his I am sure he would add some Bling and nickle plate some or all of it. (Fairly new toy for him, so plating is all the go at present.) Great job

Hey another running engine!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Seems quite fast, too!. What's the mechanism??? :scratch:
ps. If you have to turn your computer sideways to see it run, does that make it a horizontal? :)
Congratulations Shipto -- that came along a lot quicker than I thought... :beer:
