Cheers lads

what are u doing with the gear shaft rob?
are u using custom gear sizes?
Pete
Hi Pete ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Nothing as exciting ,, just fixing the shaft a slightly different way

Just wondering, I noticed you drilled right through the two bearing supports in position. When I built my Stuart I was encouraged not to do this because they may deflect off centre as the drill went through. I guess because you were boring you could take a very light final cuts and run it in and out so that you knew you wouldn`t get this deflection - is that right?

Hi Chris ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you got it ,i took it easy drilling ,, leaving plenty of material to bore to final size

Well i just about finished the crank ,, still needs some de burring , a couple of key ways milled and cut to length

Milled off the excess material ,,, to lazy to use a hacksaw

Mounted between centres and ruff turned

Then finish turned to size
