Thanks Chaps

John I was very suprized just what clamping pressure you can get with that little vice, its very well made, I want to put it to use making the small bits for the Governor.

I've just got to tidy the studs up and finish turn the piston when the stud locks done its setting thing for 24 hrs, and that will be the cylinder more or less finished, then I'll have to put this job to one side until I drop on a bit of ally jig plate for the base, I've scouted arround the scrappy 3 or 4 times now without luck.

Can any of you Guys help ?:-

I need aluminium plate:- 14 cm * 240 cm * about 15 mm thick it doesn't matter if its got a few holes in it I can soon plug those:- I'll pay postage and cost.

In the mean time I've got one or two other jobs to get on with.

Coming along really well Stew :clap: :thumbup: - Nice job on the valves!
I really like that mini vise as well; definitely a need-to-have on my list, as I'm currently clamping small bits on the edges of my mill vise, which is far from ideal.

Wish I could help with the ally plate - bit far though - besides, I'd also like to get my grubby paws on some ::)

Stew,

I hope you realise that you have just asked for a bit of 15mm thick plate, about 6" wide by about 9 feet long.

Just how big is this engine you are building?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

John

sbwhart:
Bugger :bang: decimal place wrong, thats what comes of mixing cm with mm.

14 cm * 24 cm * about 15 mm

or about 6" * 10" * 1/2" I sould stick to good old imperial.

Thanks for pointing that out John.
