And pulling off the drag showed the bottom pulley looked good. not tears around the baked core, and it was still positioned okay: |

The core was soft and easily dug out. the pips are from the vent wire: |

Finally, the break-out. Everything looks good! |

Ready to machine, I couldn't have asked for a better result, particularly under the circumstances. With all the changes in thickness, I figured this one for a bear, but everything worked first time out. Really happy with it!! You can see the double sprue here. Final weight of pulley casting, 42 oz. One more to go. |

Excellent Steve It must be rather nice to be back casting after a year or so.. It's now over seven years since I had mine set up, something else always is crops up! |
