'Twas Ian Bradley :poke: They-- Bradley, Hallows, Westbury, Chaddock, Tubal Cain, Thomas, Martin Cleeve were like Shakespeare's contemporaries-- 'A Nest of Singing Birds' May not translate- but we are now the losers. There is little left of their contribution today- and we are the poorer. |

Hi Folks, Has anyone tried valve grinding past in cast iron bores, does that work? It is easily available in coarse medium and fine in small tubs. Arnak |
| Fergus OMore:
Ask anyone who has ground in a set of valves on a cast iron head of a motor car or motor cycle their views. Ask anyone who has re-bored a single cylinder or a twin or four or six. The answers will vary from one operator to another. There IS a wealth of corrspondence on the net about various professional boring tools for vehicles. There is even the story of having to pack one of the first steam locomotive cylinders - with the foreman's felt hat. I've always wondered whether my great grandfather was involved :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
