Thats a very kind offer Brad but do you realise i'm in Stirling Scotland and not Stirling west Oz ? If your in Loanhead by Bonnyrigg you have quite a commute to work each morning,,,from Melbourne... Seriously,, that would be fantastic,, I'll get back to you soon as i'm just waiting on a couple of dry days to construct another shed in my garden so i can get some room back in my workshop... ..Mike... |

Hi, sorry I no longer have the engine. Stainless would be good for the hot end with a bronze/brass plug brazed in.Also a little groove just before the mounting flange as it helps to stop heat transfer theres a write up on Jerry Howells site. I like to keep the hot end to about 15thou thick not always possible If theres any plastic/toolroom shops near you see if you can scrounge a little bit of the heat proof stuff they used on the fixed half of the tool I think its called sandanyo plate its like fibre glass. I still have the drawings somewhere .It was one of my first hot air engines. You do realise that one will never be enough and its an addiction that totally takes over :Doh: just ask David :doh: You can tell a Stirling builder its the guy twiddling flywheels for hours looking for tight spots or dunking the new toy under water looking for air leaks :bang: cheers frazer |
