Thanks for the advice regarding the cast iron brazing - I`ll stick with Stews flywheel, I`m just not sure if it has enough weight.

I didn't think it'd be easy to solder cast iron and was going to say something - but then I remember my dad brazing some cast iron (with sif bronze and oxy acetylene) so thought it could be done and was being stood corrected. I'd loctite it too, alternatively, how big is the hole in the dumbell? You could make a taper collet like Stews?
Current flywheel looks the part though :thumbup:

Hi Chris,
I am just starting to get some bits together to attempt a Webster-ish build.
I planned on putting adjustment on the gears by boring a hole in the side plate for the second gear larger than required and use a bronze bush with a slightly eccentric hole for the gear.
The bush is then rotated to adjust the mesh and locked in place with a screw in the edge of the plate.
As to the flywheel, maybe drill a hole on the joint of the two parts and loctite in a pin as a sort of key.
Steve.

Hi Chris
Re the flywheel, you could cut a keyway into the flywheel and the kernal and key them together as well as using some locktight to make sure nothing is going to move. Your build is looking good!
