Pete & Jack, Little would you believe, this post is far from finished with. I am actually in the finishing stage of components, and no one wants to see picture of little bits of filing that have taken a couple of hours to do. The flywheel alone has had hours of hand filing put into it already, just to get the spokes something like I want them to be, and I am a very slow worker, only being able to do so much at any one time, hence my dropping onto other machining things, once my hands get tired and useless from filing. As and when I finish a major piece, I can show a piccy or two. Personal things have now taken over again, and I most probably won't be as active after another couple of weeks. But it will get finished. John |

I found a little bit of info last night that might come in handy for those who want to try the gas route. In the UK we have standard jet sizes, and the one I used in the burner on this one was #5. Number 3 which has a 0.15mm dia jet bore Number 5 which has a 0.2mm dia jet bore Number 8 which has a 0.25mm dia jet bore Number 12 which has a 0.3mm dia jet bore Number 16 which has a 0.35mm dia jet bore All have 1BA thread on holders.

Hi John Were do /did you get that springy stuff you using as a belt :dremel: :) Rob |

Rob, That 4mm spring drive belt used to be used on some old envelope making machines I used to work on. I used to take home the offcuts from the ends when we fitted new ones. Mamod use 3mm size for drive belting http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=mamod+drive+belt&_sacat=See-All-Categories I suppose I could let you have a couple of feet of the 4mm stuff if you need that size. I will be using the 4mm one on my R&B for the governor drive. John |
