This is something I need to look into for my Webster build..... thanks for posting.  :thumbup:

I didn't have time this morning to reply to your update (did to your first post).

It certainly looks useful and should be just the job for your R&B, As I said I have a 1/2" scale Domestic to make and the mag would suit that well, not to mention they are only about 15mins from me.

Look forward to your trial build.

I wonder if its the fact you posted it in the "Links" section, I get the feeling a lot of people there just look at the work in progress etc, certainly don't get that much feedback from the IHC build in the "engines from castings" section but the Traction engine in WIP gets more replies.

I don't think so Jason,

The site has gone completely away from it's original conception, that of building engines from barstock, and now everyone and his dog with a question posts on there.

There are very few experts left on there now, most, who would have understood magnetos and their uses have gone to other sites or just don't post there any more, maybe because it has got too diversified and watered down with garbage and idiotic postings.

Now that little thing is just plain COOL!

I'm gonna follow this one with interest.

Bogstandard:
Just a little update on this.

The kit will be here sometime next week. I already have the prototype build instructions and things look to be very straight forwards. I will be trialling that sequence, only 'doing my own thing' where it is nessessary for me to do. It 'should' only be a couple or three day build at most, but you know what I am like, that could easily be stretched to a week. So everything else in my shop will be put on hold until it is built and tested, I don't want any more projects clogging things up for me.

BTW, this isn't a buy and assemble jobbie. If you can build an engine, then you are expected to be able to machine to fairly good tolerances. All the basics are supplied including the prewound and potted coil (that would be the expensive bit), plus a build sequence and plans. You could, at a push, make it with a small lathe, 3 & 4 jaw chucks and a vertical slide, but really, it does need a small mill, just to keep the accuracy required in certain areas under control.

This is the latest GA drawing, showing his web address.



So how many have been put off by my talking about keeping to tight tolerances?
