Thread: MyFord Super 7 spindle movement
26/02/2018 09:32:13

I repeated the procedure over the weekend and it appears to be fine now; either finger trouble or the process is fickle in itself.

Motor rattle still worryingly present though.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply - I was aware that it might appear a bit of a bone question. I had printed off several of the helpful explanations on here. Is the procedure a little temperamental? I was worried about the spindle slippage as I thought maybe I hadn't loaded the rear bearings sufficiently but the scribed line on the spindle matches pretty well to the collar. Maybe I should just try doing it again until it "works". It appears I now have an excruciating rattle apparently coming from the motor. Oh dear - not my day!

I wonder if you can help me. I replaced the headstock belt on my super 7. Had to back off the tensioning screws considerably to get freedom of movement of the lever as the old belt must have been fairly stretched. I am now getting heat at the front bearing and the spindle appears to want to stop under load. Any suggestions?

Thread: Nickel Silver Plate

Thanks for your continued help. Annoying isn't it that they've got EVEYTHING in USA - but I've been caught out by the nice customs men before. Trying searches for Mickel now - thanks Mike Williams.

Michael,

Not so fast there trigger! The fat lady hasn't sung yet! Plate is good because of flexibility of use.

Thank you for your continued help. Can you let me know where the example is from please as it looks like, well, a small plate.

I did warn you all I was a bit slow!

John,

I was kind of getting around to thinking that - I'm a bit slow!

05/02/2013 16:58:49

Thanks mate, I'll give some a go although trying to build up a stock of plate. Good shout about searching for German Silver - I'll give that a go too.

KWIL,

Thanks - yep those would do for the smaller ones - assuming you mean 6mm thick. If it would take some forging it would do for the larger ones too. Know where I might get some?

Allied Copper turned up a blank too. Don't suppose there's a couple of hundred of you out there who would like to share a container load from China/India?!

03/02/2013 14:56:06

John - indeed I have, thank you. Once again, nothing that thick. It's got to be out there somewhere!

02/02/2013 17:52:58

Thanks again Michael. Yep - worth a go and not one of the many I have tried. It's for instrument keys.

02/02/2013 11:26:47

Thanks Michael, tried both Smiths and MK (plus a whole lot of others!) to no avail. I KNOW it's out there - I've seen it!!

Tech reference very useful though. I'll keep trollingbut hope someone comes up trumps here.

Hi there,

Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of Nickel Silver Plate at 5 or 6mm thickness? I'm looking for about 1m sq. Tried all the usual suspects and searched on here. A lot of places list it on their websites but for whatever reason, when I contact them they don't have it. I've been trolling around the web for a couple of weeks but can really only find places in Asia that want to sell me it by the Ton/Shipload!

Thanks
