I only suggested Maplin as it's easier to get at. Industrial supply places would be cheaper.
I bought mine soooo long ago, I can't remember where it came from. :scratch:
It really doesn't take much.
:offtopic: I usually use Rapid, CPC, or Farnell for my parts requirements. Maplin ceased being little more than a high-tech toy shop several years ago. Shades of the "What will happen" thread...

:offtopic: Very true! Forgot I bought an electric trike for my 3 year old from there too! Those things were several hundred pounds when I was a nipper ... £29.99!

Hi all, unfortunately I didn’t get done what I planned tonight. I could have stayed out longer but when it got to 10:15 ish I was getting a little tired and had enough really.
Basically, I got the hole drilled in the cylinder support part of the frame, the rad cut on the corner and the ring of bolt holes to fasten the cylinder on. Still need to drill and tap the holes that will fasten it to the other part of the frame that supports the bearing and the hole for the pedestal to stand it on.
I blued the bits up then forgot to mark them out! So thought sod it and just used the hand wheels to position the hole! I worked out how far in graduations it took from one side to the other though then split it, since I know my hand wheels aren’t very accurate.
Drilling the big 5/8” hole with the slot drill.
Drilling the rad with the ½” slot drill.
Copying the holes from the cylinder cover to the frame. Note bottom hole was only spotted, this needed to be tapped 8ba in frame for dummy screw to account for snapped tap in cylinder!
Tapping hole for dummy screw
Progress so far
Not going as fast as I would have liked, but I’ll get there!
