If you are still having trouble Stew, a new pair of eyes and hands are available if you need it.

Sometimes you can't see the forest for all the trees.

That is coming along just wonderful.

Thanks Chaps

Thanks for the offer for a second pair of eyes:- I've slept on the problem, the basic action of the linkage seems to be doing what it should. I think the problem comes from two areas:- I haven't set the eccentric timing correct it all over the place, and I haven't connected up the reversing rod I think it needs this to ancore the motion.

I've stripped it down made the gaskets and started to fit the studding for the valve chest, I'll put it all together getting all the pins to the correct length and fix them with loctite, and then see how it goes:- (there should be a finger cross smiley for times like this)

I may be calling on you if I'm still in trouble.

I'm nipping over to Macmodels tomorrow for some more studding is there anything you would like me to pick up for you.

Cheers

Stew
