Nice spray job Mick.

Some more progress today lad.
Started putting a few more bits on but first had to paint various parts red inside the webs on the bed to cabinet cupboards and inside belt guards etc. Thanks to John Doubleboost who has some nice proper old fashioned stinky oil based red paint that went on lovely with a soft brush and roller.
This is what it looks like now, I will be to cover over with a sheet and have the room again to prepare the other parts for round two of the painting.
More to come soon .
Cheers Mick.

Hi Mick, she's looking grand with the wolf gray paint on.
I've just been recapping on this project from the beginning and I can confirm for you that the cut away on top of the cross slide nut is indeed there for clearing the thin steel screw cover,but I guess you know this by now.
Also you show a photo of your cross slide nut with packing shims wedged into the adjustment slot whereas both my metric and imperial nuts don't have these and are adjusted by tightening the 2 screws only,I've never had any problems with them backing out of adjustment and I wonder if someone has added the shims on yours after it left the factory.....OZ.

Hi Oz , funny you should mention this as I have been looking back through and also was looking at that nut thinking its been bodged up at some point, I have found a few of the usual rubbish attempts to fix things. My overall plan was to try to fix what I can when I am putting things back together, I have stripped the Norton gearbox today as that was notchy to slide from one cog to the next so I am going to give it all a good clean and with a diamond file de burr all the cogs that have edges burred etc, the apron will need the same sort of treatment too.
I know some parts like the top plide could do with scraped etc but will get it up and running and do bits at a time I think.
Cheers for your interest and observations Oz , I might be asking about more things as the various parts get sorted out .
Cheers Mick.

How will you dare even using such a pristine machine? The first scratch "ouch!"
