Thanks again Chaps Nick its got a 2" dia fly wheel, not quite decided yet how to bling it if at all but I quite like composite fly wheels brass rim ally hub. With regards to the valve movement, I've seen a pic of a Elmer radial that uses the same type of valve built with a perspex cover so you can see the action, I think it was built by Marv, if it was, he may be kind enough to post us the pic, if he reads this thread. Cheers Stew |

I think this is the picture to which you refer, Stew... The valve seals against the inside of the plastic so it's a bit tricky to lap the valve to just the right thickness to obtain that seal. |

Thanks Marv Much appreciated that perspex cover is a real cleaver way to demonstrate the valve movement. Regards Stew |
