I should add that I use Fuji Finepix Viewer to re-size my pictures; always saving a copy at the original resolution. The software came with my camera. Dave. |

FastStone Photo Resizer is just the ticket :thumbup: http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm Rob |

Like Rob, I also use Faststone Resizer - it does a lot more than just resizing and is very easy to use. And it's free!!!! :D :D :D |

Hi All, On Friday I set about repairing the damaged brake on the Colchester This lathe is the type with mechanical brake operated from the foot bar The shoes were damaged at the ends and one was cracked ! The shoe pivot was sheared off where it screws inth the gearbox housing, luckily the broken piece was not stuck The lever stop was also almost sheared !! Size 14's or what I had a pair of relined shoes intended for a Velocette LE mk1 model already relined lying about and saw the possibilities of fitting these, I also found almost identical to the original shoes from a "British Hub Co." wheel that would have been from probably a James or Dot lightweight motorcycle from the 1950's, but these were in poor shape As the pivot was damaged I measured up how best to remake it to suit the Velo linings, I set up the damaged Hexagon piece in the lathe and drilled and tapped it through 1/2UNC I turned down a piece of 3/4in. round steel to 1/2in. for about 1 3/4in in length and threaded it 1/2 UNC to take the hexagon piece At the 3/4 diamater I machined a groove down to 1/2in. dia to accept the pivot end of the shoes then parted it off I searched around and found some shorter springs as the Colchester ones were too long to hold the velo shoes in place A 5/16unc allen bolt was cut down to make a new lever stop When I had it all back together I did some trial "stops" and it seems to work very well Lets hope my smaller photos are ok this time ?? Cheers for now John |
