Hi John I was going to use some 1/8" copper tube for the ports but brass would match in nicly thank you. I was going to ask for a loan of those thinning tools, and I was going to ask for a loan of those gang slitting saws to make a gang up to cut fins in the brass extention to the cylinder head I'm planning. That old cast iron cut lovely. :thumbup: thank you. Cheers Stew |

Spent a bit of time today knocking the cylinders a bit more into shape. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: Set the mandrel back up in the lathe and turned it down to a nice fit on the sleaves, this is why I wanted all the bores the same size, so that one mandrell can be used for all three. Then same trick as before:- chuck taken off the lathe with the mandrell still in place and fixed on the Spin Indexer. Her we have one in the indexer with my crib sheet and two assy in the crank. Close up of three in the crank case, I've got some more meat to take out and some holes to drill but I nearly made a couple of mistakes so decided to call it a day. Just taken delivery of this from the US, I saw these in use a few years ago at one of our subcontractors, he was using a big one 6" dia to hone the bores of some hydrolic cylinders, have any of you guys ever used them and have you any tips. Cheers Stew |
