Hello all, After weeks of hard design work :scratch: ok..ok.. beer drinking :beer: I've finally made some chips from this:- Thanks goes to Chris (Craynerd) for the inspiration to start this by the way. Sorry it's anopther Webster but I am going to make a few mods :loco: so it should still be interesting to see if I can get it to work. The main mod being that it is altogether a bit bigger as can be seen from this. All my work is metric but it'll be 1" 25.4mm bore and 32mm stroke making it 16cc. I know many will say I'm mad but I have just finished a Stuart 10v made exactly to plans so I felt I wanted to do a bit of design on the fly. I'm planning to include a cam-shaft back over the con-rod to another plate holding the ignition (conventional points) and exhaust cam operating the exhaust valve on the opposite side to the inlet. This sort of defeats the original premise of the webster being a simple build but that is not my main aim in this project. This won't be a quick build but I hope it will be of interest. The first job has been a real test, the slots being all cut using the tiny parting tool shown resting on top of the tool-post 1.5mm tool 2.5mm slots ! It's taken be about a week on and off, I had to grind the tool twice for each slot and it was still VERY slow going. I could have done with a carbide parting tool but needed to save the money for a new 10mm boring bar -- next job. Thanks for looking, Steve. |
