Thanks very much Guys your support is much appreciated :headbang: Got few more bits done today:- valve rod stops, steam chest covers and made a good start on the slide valves mainly drilling work I'll post some pics tomorrow. Had a good bit of customer service to day from an ebay trader, I order a length of 1/16 stainless steal for the valve rod, it came very quick but when I tried it in the engine I found they had sent me 3/32, so contacted the seller pointing out their mistake, this morning what should land on the doorstep but two length of 1/16 bar, so sent them a mail asking if they wanted the 3/32 bar returning:-no they said were very sorry for the inconvenience. This is the company http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CLIPS-BITS?_trksid=p4340.l2563 :D :D :D :D :D Stew |

Not much shed time today as we were looking after grandson it's amazing how quick they grow that sounds stupid having had two kids of our own, but I seem to notice his development more, mind you I was too busily putting bread on the table when our own were growing up. Completed some small parts:- Slide valves, valve rod stops, and steam chest end covers. To mill the slots in the slide valves I used a 1/16 tungsten burr it did the job well. This is how the two slide valves fit in the steam chestengine the inlet is driven by a valve rod and the exhaust is driven by a spool valve activated by back pressure in the cylinder. (I've got to make the spool) Stew |
