Because PTFE is so slick, you can't stick it to things, so you have to do things mechanically.

Hmmmm. Yes John,
I was already thinking how I would press fit onto the 1/8" conrod....... :scratch:
Here`s one I did earlier.
This will be a few weeks of a project......
I hope to have it run all day, at Lincoln in 3 weeks time....... :wave:
David.
Darren:
Somebody's stolen the gudgeon pin....!! :bugeye:
That'll make life simpler, :ddb:
(I didn't realise steam engines didn't have one, or is it just wobblers)
John Hill:
Wobblers dont have gudgeon pins else they would not wobble! I think most steam engines have a slide at the end of the piston rod so presumeably they dont have gudgeon pins and I expect a double acting one would not have them either.
Stilldrillin:
Rebuilt again. :wave:
Still with "original" pistons.
First run, yesterday, on air at 10psi.
Tweaking to do but, all ok, so far....... :thumbup:
