Thank you, Tom! ... I'm pleased I haven't been forgotten! :wave: Don't forget, you can now see any/ all Pbucket pics. Simply by Installing the appropriate add ons. Firefox..... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-fixer/ Chrome..... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/photobucket_hotlink_fix?hl=en What a tremendous own goal, Pbucket have scored! :loco: So..... While thinking what to do, about the detached flange. I set to, making the cooling fins. Around 4"/100mm diameter. Started with, square, 5mm thick blanks. And, one off at 8mm thick, to screw to the bulkhead. Using 3 stops, on the mill table. Means I can locate/ relocate all blanks, accurately. Every time...... Making it easy, to mill off the corners. Instead of sawing...... Also, to drill a central, 6mm hole....... A piece of 4" dia steel, in the chuck. Faced with wide insulation tape. Plus a lump of spare nylon...... Friction turned the remaining corners away........ Giving, a handful of discs, all the same diameter. Moved onto the mill....... Removed the centre areas. Just undersize, to the hot cap o/d of 47mm...... Parted off, Five, 63mm dia blanks. From bar stock, and removed the centres, too....... After finish boring, on the lathe. A quick mock up...... I think that looks ok..... :thumbup: Thanks for looking in...... |
