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......
