Nice way to do that last bit. This whole project is coming out very nice. Will be watching for the final outcome. :)

Cheers Guys

I'm following Tubal Cain's (Tom Wiltshaw) methods her he certainly had some neat tricks :headbang:

The valve shaft is a bit of 3mm stainless, put a 0.5mm slot down the end with a slitting saw.

Then cross drill 0.8mm I.m not sure if this is required.

So you've got this.

Now Tubal called for the stem to be brass and to soft solder the butterfly to it whilst assembled to the body, but he was writing before cyinoacalate came along and as i won't be steaming the engine that's what I'm going to use.

So this is the assembly kit.

It was my intentions to cross drill the butterfly using the little drill but when I came to it I couldn't get in, I think the idea is to give another route for the solder/supper glue, but it seems to have fixed well enough without the cross drill. You have to probe about a bit to get the butterfly sitting square then apply a drop of glue on the end of the stick, don't over do it as you'll stick the lot together :hammer:

Her we are with it in the open position.

And closed

I then turned up the gland nut, assembled it with a few turns of graphite yarn to seal thing up.

The finished Job

Next up the mounting frame.

Marked it out on a bit of steel plate.

I'll cut it out tomorrow.
