On another forum i am on the moderators have just admitted that they can go into the archive if there are complaints of bulling and abuse for the integrity of the forum and as is often said think twice before you press the send button if you would not like your grand mother to see it do not send it.

I think it might have helped if you had put a photo of each one not everybody would know what the castings numbers or what they are for.I looked at them but did not have time to wade through stewarts site to find out what was what.

Or buy John Stevenson er block from Arc Euro little bit cheaper than importing from the states and do the same job

I had the misfortune to use him once when i first started model engineering 20 years ago before we could afford the internet i sent for his catalogue worked out what small ba taps and some brass i wanted and drove to his shack he shared with a car repair business he sorted out what i wanted and the cost was just over double his catalogue price with the excuse i cannot keep the catalogue up to date i had to wait 3 weeks for the catalogue because it was at the printers. I think he just made his price up as he went along i have not been near his shack since. Andrew you have done very well in giving him a miss he obviously changed in 20 years

Could somebody give me some help i cannot get the ELS software to go on the Code Composer studio work space every time i click on the download folder it just keeps breaking it up into smaller and smaller folders.When you watch James you tube number 10 on flashing the board he just drags it into the workspace and CCS just extracts it.I am useing win 10 home 64bit it will not put the folder anywhere just smaller and smaller folders then puts a few lines in from the extraction.Thanks Graham

Poor postman this morning Model Engineer numbers 4652 and 4653 and model Engineers Workshop all in same delivery?

I was given this model in it's very sorry state some years ago and struggling to identify it and was being given some assistance by Alan Stepney who unfortunately passed away very suddenly and it got put away and forgotten about clearing out a cupboard this morning i came across it and thout i would try again.

It is all brass or bronze the fly wheel is 9 1/2 inches diameter i think the bore and stroke is 1 1/2 by 3 inches the eccentric straps look like they are press out as the corners are very sharp .The main shaft i replaced so i could turn the engine over the one it came with had sheared off at the flywheel the 3 eccentrics are have a key way in them i have taken the studs from the steam chest they are .122 48 tpi and if i remember the eccentric straps are 3.5 x 1 mm pitch bit off a mongrel any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Graham

Hi Ian ask BT about a service they do called BT Call Guardian a friend uses it, you give them a list off numbers you want to get through but if the ladies voice does not recognise a number it hangs up on you.

Thanks very much Barrie a very enjoyable read cannot wait for more when Dave was racing he never seemed to get the press coverage he deserved.

Love to read more on the Dave Morris bike and the Suzuki was that when John Reynolds won the British Championship

Macc Model Ltd was very good with quick delivery in the lock down and giving excellent service

Hi Graham at .430 it could be a 7/16 size. 7/16 is .437. cycle thread it 20 tpi and BSF is 18tpi easily miscounted hope this is some help or check Tracy Tools on the right side of the page . Graham

Looks similar but different make and needs some work.

I have been having a problem with the Y axis jumping about 5mm it was being wound from zero to .625 and as i moved the handle it suddenly jumped to .806 wind back to zero and it would go to the correct zero.If i then wound it very slowly it was ok for two or three days then it got worse and started jumping all over the scale.After finding the original paper work for it 2010 i bit the painful bullet and got a new one which touch wood is working ok at the moment with just the new screen and y travel and the old x and z left on the milling machine.

Out of interest i took the back of the old screen and noticed like a mould or growth along some of the tracks and wondered if this could be the problem.
