Thanks Jason.

Hello all..

About to solder these hubs together, anyone any tips of making sure everything is clean ?

Will rub the parts down with maybe a scotch pad, should i be using any cleaning solution ?

Thanks

Brian

Hello Russ, thank you for the reply.

Looks like a similar system, i have a backing plate on the sensor which i fit first before screwing the sensor bar to this.

I could drill and tap jacking screws into the backing plate then attach a level.

Good idea, thank you.

Hello all,

in the process of fitting the new dro,

has anyone any experience of fitting the y axis, and how they shimmed the scale vertical ?

thanks in advance.

Hello all.

Fast approaching the completion of the rear wheels and so would like to thank everyone for your help so far, without this I would be lost.

I would like to turn my attention to the boiler, can anyone recommend any books that would be helpful for me to read?

Thanks

Brian

It's my own fault, I pay by direct debit and never noticed they had not taken the money out for a while.

I read the magazine via newsstand on the ipad, but this morning it asked me to pay to download the latest issue,

I am sure a quick call to them on Monday will get it sorted, just hope they allow me to download today's copy.

Hello all,

Been an avid rear of both ME & MEW since April last year, but for some reason my subscription to ME has been cancelled, in the past when I have had to contact subscriptions it has taken weeks to get a reply, guess the quickest route is to just take out a new subscription and keep an eye on my direct debits.

Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks all for your reply's, very interesting read and most helpful.

Trying to prevent the fitting of these becoming more of a hindrance than a help so thank you.

Have ordered a set from gt precision,

Nick, must say those you fitted looked the business, but may have raised a few eyebrows.

will report back on progress.

Thanks again,

Hello all..

I am looking at adding a DRO onto my warco mill,

Thought maybe these

**LINK**

Has anyone any experience of them ?

Thanks

Hello.

Managed to get a little time today to turn up the off side inner plate but think i have a very slight discrepancy between to face which is in contact with the wheel hub and the 7/16 bore.

does anyone know of a material i can use as a 7/16 shaft to align the hub and the plate whilst i solder the two together.

Thanks in advance

Will give it a try, Thankyou

Thanks Jason for the reply, good job i asked.

The original hubs where made from SAE660, i have found some PB102 which i could use for the covers, any idea if these two materials would solder ok ?

Thanks Jason,

think your right, I am making the drum from steel, a bush is not really needed as it's not going any where but will add it anyway.

one thing I wanted to ask, I am going to make the hub covers next, these need soldering onto the hubs when done,

really worries about doing this, is the solder paste sold by cup alloys the stuff I need?

thanks

Brian

Hello again, need a bit more help if I may.

About to turn up the brake drum, I have noticed looking at pictures on the net that

some people have inserted a bronze bush, is this needed you think?

Thanks, Brian

Thanks Jason,

Thanks Jason, guessing all the suppliers are as good as each other, should I be asking any questions or just order them.

Hello all, happy new year to everyone.

Need to purchase the gears for the minnie I am building, no chance of making these parts myself,

Am I correct in assuming they are machine cut and not water jet or laser cut ?

thanks for any help

Brian

Thanks chaps for taking the time to reply, sorry for the delayed response.

I have confused myself with this, not sure now if it's a knock, a rattle or what, so have taken the decisive decision to turn the radio up..until I have time to investigate it properly,

providing it doesn't get worse , I think I will live with it.

Hello, really not sure.

Tried the screw driver against the ear tonight and seems to be coming from the clutch area..

could be the thrust bearing maybe, not a problem just an annoyance.

Hello, thanks Brian, that's a very good point, it is literally tick, tick, tick,

I have had no reply from the email I sent to Darren, so maybe a job to do during the Xmas break.
