For goodness sake Stilldave, if it starts smoking, grab the vacuum and suck up all the smoke and save it in a jar. If you lose that, you will never get the motor running again.

I'm surprised you managed to drill 16mm to be honest! Good work David, what's going to be different between this and the old one and how are you going to make the flange?

Dave, John.
Thanks for the concern, and smiles Lads! :thumbup: :clap:

I don't think there will be a problem..... Probably! ::)

Frankly, it smelt of hot paint after some 15 mins of ploughing. So, each time, I went and did something else for an hour or so.

At knock off, I shovelled out the black dust, and oiled round. Realised the headstock wasn't even aired, so I nipped the taper bearings a little, then ran it free for a few mins.

All ok, I reckon! :thumbup:

Nick.
Essentially, I intend to face off the 6BA screw holes, including the part thread. Reduce the wall thickness by half, back to the neck, behind the small dia cover flange.

The counter bored new piece will slip over, held with some high temp sleeve lock, now on it's way from America.

I will then bore and turn to correct dimensions, with a larger dia cover plate flange, fitting into a thicker (3mm) steel cover plate. (Cos that area leaked as well).

Well..... That's the plan...... Probably! :scratch:

Ahh, I see now... good plan, I think :scratch: :lol:
