That's a crackin' way to fabricate a flywheel Stew! :clap: :thumbup: David D |

Cheers Saw/Dave I'm still not sure about that pulley though, I've a mind to pull it apart and start again, salvaging what parts I can. In the mean time made a start on the fly wheel, I'm using a 7" dia cast iron fly bought from RDG. Gave it a good going over with files cleaning off all the lumps and bumps and getting to grips to its shape. Set it up in my big four jaw chuck and cleaned the face off and the inside of the rim and part of the OD, found that its got some blow holes in it that wont clean up, looks like I'll have to fill them with something have you guys got any suggestion, at Crewe Loco works they used a concoction they called buggerum, made up from putty red lead and iron filing, but I thought of body filler. Cast iron is real filthy stuff to work with, looks like I can join John's black hand gang. :D Stew |

Hi Stew, it's looking very good so far, I'm really interested in seeing her running :bugeye: I think I'd use some JB weld and maybe some of the casting dust if necessary, it's epoxy with iron in it already, and it holds well, assuming it's available that side of the pond. It even looks okay on cast iron if it's not painted or covered, particularly if you've got some iron dust from turning. :beer: cheers, Jack |

I think I have some JB weld knocking around here Stuart, from when I did the Bantam engine. Very good stuff. John |
