"Going to drink all the Windhoek lager I get my hands on for 10 days" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Gerhard that's some "OK" stuff - been a bit bastardised in SA, as they're brewing it there as well now... Still beats Castle and Black Label hands-down though :lol: :lol: :lol: Ask 'em for Windhoek Draught or Tafel Lager - Muuuuch better :thumbup: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: Where in SA are you going ? - The sun's not fun at the moment - as there's a lot more rain than normal; except for the Garden Route - they have drought :doh: :beer:, Arnold on Little Saturday and loads of Tafel :) :) |

Hi ALL back again had a lovely trip, everybody got word about me not having had any Windhoek lager for a long time so there was botlles of Windhoek lager pressed into my hands whenever they where empty. Just a little progress to report Have made some Sqaure bolts - There is another thread where Lots of helfull people gave me some hint as to how to make them and how big they should be. I used 8mm brass bar drilled and threaded then moved to the mill and sqaured just a piece then back to lathe to part. John Bogstandard sugested that they should be a bit mismathed in size etc as this would be pre whitworth so I measured but only so it was about 2.5mm thick +- .2mm. Then placed them on the little arbour and cut the sharp bits off and that is it. The cylinder is to be a 3 inch travel half inch piston with the valve soldered to it Used the 4 jaw chuck to centre the brass bar and drilled and reamed to 1/2 inch then bored out a indentation to solder the valve plate onto. That is it for now will post as soon as more happens Gerhard |
