Hi
Nick
I want to make it reversable hence 2 eccentrics
John
NickG:
I worked that out John ... just wondered why you made 2 more rather than just 1 more and use the old one too? Presume they are different to the old one in some way?

Hi
Nick
I have used the original
(i cast 2 just to be safe in case i messed up the machining)
The spare one will be remelted
John
NickG:
Ah I see, lovely work anyway  :thumbup:

Hi
Had a good few hours in the shop this weekend
Had a bit play with the rotary table




Time for some filing


The rod ends are threaded left and right hand thread ,this makes setting the slide valve easy






Just a nice big reversing handle and some linkage
John
