It needs silver solder Darren, plus the right flux. No probs with SS. If you want to wait until you come over, I'll join it permanently for you. Only takes a couple of minutes. John |
| Darren:
Thanks John, A quick lesson with Silver solder may just come in handy for the future.... :thumbup: |

Hi Darren, I just got off my lazy forgetful ass and had a look for that BSP tap..... I thought it was a 1" but I have 2 of 3/4" instead!! :doh: Are you sure it's not a 3/4" ? .... Cause you can have one of these if it is? :) ..... 1".... That's a monster of a thread!!! :bugeye: (well it is to me ::) ) Ralph. |
| Darren:
Thanks for taking the trouble to look Ralph...much appreciated Unfortunately I do need a 1" tap not 3/4", Yes It does look big, thankfully I'm only need to clean these threads up a bit and not tap from new :bugeye: |

Back on the Lister flywheel puller tonight, I know the previous advice was against cast iron, but, but, while doing a bit of sorting out earlier I found this..well I had it and it looked just right and pretty substantial. As soon as I saw it I just new I'd have to give it a go...it's a Ford car hub Knocked the studs and bearings out, (btw the bearing housings look like they may make some half decent parallels if I could figure out how to cut them in half?) A reminder of the key I'm trying to pull out Started milling a slot for the key head, Then decided I needed to cut the hub down a bit so I could get the milling bit closer Machined really nicely both on the lathe and the miller I started from this side and then decided I needed to be machining from the other side....doah...!! So I flipped it over And ended up with this Trial fitting over the key head Turn into position and bingo. Now then, some decisions to make, do I drill as before and use 3 bolts to do the pulling, or do I weld a tube on to really strengthen the whole thing up and pull from the end of the shaft with a single bolt.....oooh I don't like these conundrums !! :scratch: |
