You have a largish lathe at your disposal right here Stew. Or you might even be able to roll them on that 3 in 1 I have in the back room. John |

Just got back from my overseas jaunt catching up on things here must say Stew that looks lovely well done mate :thumbup: |

Stew, was just thinking the other night about the problem you had with the water gauge / clack clashing together so had to come and skim through your build log again first thing this morning! How did you solve the problem in the end, Did you change the design, you seem to have a bush on top of the boiler now instead of that curved bit soldered onto the top but where is the water gauge bush on the backhead? :scratch: Cheers, Nick |

Nick yes thats what i did the guys at the club recon that a screwd bush is better than that curved thing shown on the drawing, I also moved the position of the clack valves to the front of the barrel just behind the smoke box, the guys reccon its better to feed the cold water into the front rather than at the back onto the fire box. |
