Thanks John/Dave/Nick/Benni and Dave

Got on with the fixed part of the governor, this is the bit that has the packing gland in the real job its sit in the little loop so you can replace the packing without having to strip everything down, well thats what I think it does, I'm going to cheat with this as I cant think of a way to get in and tap the hole and at the same time screw it onto the steam chest, so I'll just fiddle it and make it look like the real thing.

Fist job rough it out.

Then with the ball turner form the rads it was a bit awkward get the back rad done because of hitting the chuck, so I had to eye ball some of it.

Looks ok

I scratched my head on how to do the next bit, doing the out rigger for the belt jockey wheel. In the end I just filed a lump of brass to match the radius and screwed it to the body with a 6ba brass screw.

Then silver soldered it.

I left plenty of meat on so it was over to the indexer for milling.

And locating and drilling the holes.

So this is how it came off the mill

Then I turned up a filing button and using this as a guide whittle the unwanted stuff off.

Then back onto the lathe and parted it off the bar.

Then it was a matter of using the chucking pieces to finish off each end.

Time for a hows it looking shot

Not bad
