Do you have any in stock, Andrew?

Got some titanium sheet but it's 2 mm thick and destined for nickel plating cages  :ddb:
Stilldrillin:
When I drill the 4mm. shutter hole, on a piece of hardwood, a rollover is formed. Just the right size for a 4mm washer.

Flatted to clear underside of the cyl. head........




Had some soldering problems, with the protective varnish. Got there, in the end........




A quick video, of a fast proving run........





Shutters. Two on left, after a few seconds at speed. Third one after 6 hrs gentle running. Fourth one after several minutes at speed.....




I reckon, that's a success!  :thumbup:
