Ahh.... I get the extra long cylinder bit now :thumbup:
Nicely done David :clap:
How long does it take to get an allen key!?!? Don't they know we're waiting to see the final video? ::)
It was me on about the plastic.... I know a lot of people still like the old wood finish...... Some of that there coated plastic looks pretty similar to me from 10' away though :lol:

Thanks for all your comments chaps...... :thumbup:
How long to get an allen key? Hmmmmmm......... :scratch:
It`s only coming from Bridlington, some 85 miles away. "Shipped" exactly 7 days ago!
I`ve had parcels arive in Aus / NZ inside 6 days! :bang:
Meanwhile, the engine is sitting beside me computer, like a little orphan...... Waiting...... :(

Well, I guess you`ve all read about the .9mm allen key that wasn`t...... And cost me some £13+ :bang: :bang:
Jimmy O has lent me one to be going on with. So, lets get on with it! :D
Just a couple more pics, & a rather poor vid.......
I took this one to show the minute size of the grubscrews......
This is the shortened pedestal. I think it looks more in proportion than original to drawing....
Also I fitted a tiny washer to stop the conrod rubbing on the crank face. It made quite a difference to the revs.
Finally this afternoon`s vid. ::)
The sun was much too bright. Then the compressor started leaking oil down the pipe & slowing the engine.
I originally had 2500rpm. Now slowed to around 1500rpm.
Sorry about the strobe effect on the flywheel..... Listen to the sound to get some idea of speed.......
