Cheers LADS  :thumbup:


Moving along ,, next up the main bearing brackets need boring ,, a small angle plate was clocked on the mill

And the base fixed to it

Then drilled and bored


next up using the mill dials ,, the position of the hole for the timing gear shaft was located , drilled and reamed 1/4" ,, i am deviating from the drawings a bit here .




Cheers Rob

Cheers Benni  :D


Next the crank ,,,,,,,,,

Several hours later my saw had cut through the lump of steel  ::)



the centres were marked out on each end and drilled

next a slot was milled to remove most of the material to form the big end
 

This was then turned between centres , starting with a stiff slotting tool to remove most of the material .


Then a thinner tool was used to turn the journal


With that done ,, i need a spacer to go between the crank webs ,, so the crank will not bend when the pressure from the tail stock is applied ,,, there are many ways of doing this ,,,this is my way , turn up a length of steel   to be a good fit between the webs , a slack fit is no good ,,,
 
If its too tight when a parallel is laid across ,,it will rock ,, so a bit more will need to be machined off .
 

Drill and tap one end and part off leaving a top hat ,position in line will main journals centres , hold in place with screw and washer
