Thanks John, Mike I think they might be Doxfords that I hear going through the straits some nights! John, I quite likely will not be attempting an engine for a little while just yet, the first step will be to actually modifiy two bits of metal so that they fit each other! :lol: |
| John Hill:
#10 you say John? It sure looks achievable and at 2HP I could use it to power my lathe! :lol: |

Don't see any set screws or a large, economy-sized bottle of Loctite about, and it doesn't appear that they were using heat. Taper fit? (And I though built-up might be the easy way out!) Floyd |
