Stew, will give it a go. How do you get the stuff back off? With emery cloth?If you mean the marking blue, I use IsoPropyl Alcohol ( IPA ). You can get it from Maplin in a spray can.
I'm not convinced whether it will run.
Many moons ago I did an article on making recesses in a flywheel.
Unfortunately the accompanying vid went pear shaped ages ago, but there is enough on the post to give you a good idea of how to do it and what the tool looked like.

If you go to the middle of the post, there is another link that will take you to where it shows you how to make flywheels out of plate material.

Nick, it is identical to the one at RDG sells for £45 but I got mine much much cheaper of the market about 5 years ago! http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/COMPRESSORS.html
I got it with an airbrush set when I was spraying parts for my old MGF - I never used the airbrush as I found I could get a better finish with a spray can if I took my time! RDG also sell theres to be used with an airbrush set but I guess they have other uses.
Like you, I don't just like making stuff to existing plans. In fact, I never have done yet ... will have to give it a go though!
Nice 1 David, should be useful. Any particular reason you chose the 2 cylinder one?

I already have a window rattler, which I don`t use/ need often.
I have a small compressor from a dehumidifier, which will not be man enough for the upcoming job of powering a 4 cylinder Mamod engine. ::)
Soo...... Seeing how little difference there was in the prices, I bought the largest! :thumbup:
