Thanks Bob! :thumbup: Dave. The Maiwald....... Was it this flamelicker? :scratch: Yes, it was a bit hot. Especially when relighting the blowtorch, in a hurry..... :doh: Didn't manage any flange work today. After sincere and meaningful discussion. Management suggested I slap protective on the shed door. :palm: Tomorrow's another rip roaring day! :) David D |

Dave That was the one ... :thumbup: remember it now. Hard to keep up with you, so many orphans ... and resurrections .. BC |

Nice one Dave, if you hadn't put your finger in there you may never have found that! I remember I ended up submerging my first stirling in the bath and blowing into the top of the power piston! That soon found the leaks! Nick |
| Dean W:
The way your finger went through that hot cap reminds me of how my fingers go through my jeans pockets. No wonder I never have any money! Keep at it, David. : ) |

Dave, Nick, Dean. Thanks for the smiles. Every little helps........ :thumbup: Found one of my penny washers was the right o/d, for a 50% thicker flange. Bored it to just slip over the original........ Marked the 12 oclock position, for orientation. I could then spot, and drill through, 'cos the holes were not in any sort of pcd. Turned a step on the cylinder to support the flange in position......... Silver soldered together....... Looks ok, I think........ Fired up, using a different burner We got a very hesitant runner!! It reminded me of my little grandaughter, when she runs. All arms and legs, and stopping every few seconds! Very hesitant! So, I lubed the piston, with slide oil, and it just took off........ That will do for now! :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: :D But! Steel piston. Loose fit, in an alloy cylinder. Don't like that idea! Do I make an alloy piston? Or brass? Do I open it out, and sleeve with steel, and brass piston? What does the Team think? David D |
