Cheers Stew - it took two years of taming before I`ve been able to manage cutting a gear all on my own :coffee:

Slow slow slow going....
I cheated, I purchased the second gear a 24 tooth 32DP off ebay for no more than £3! It is nice to see that my 32DP 48 tooth gear meshes with it so it was a success!!
I`ve tapped the cylinder which was tought and it fits nicely into the cylinder support. I`ve not got any nice cap head screws to fit so the screws in the photo are just temporary. I`ve also bolted the supports to the base piece and I`ve drilled them to fit the bearings. I`ve gone with bearings intead of bushes.

Could anyone help me with reading the plans!!

The wrist pin! I really don`t understand any of it - I literally can`t see how it should look and can`t read the plans at all. I expected the wrist pin to be simply a pin, maybe a slight taper that pushes through the piston to attach it to the con-rod. I`m sorry, feel a bit of an idot but I just can`t make it out!!
I`ll update with some pictures too soon! Not done much as I`ve had a busy month at work and home but I`ve now done the con rod!
Any help much appreciated!

Looks like there milled flats down .010 thou deep x .219 in from both ends, with a .094 bore through the pin x .188 od. It has a .015 flat 45* chamfer each end.
Anthony.
