Had to go from Leeds to Barnsley to pick up my new Ham radio. 33 in the van & A/C don't work. Felt like a 100 mile journey. But worth it in the end. A few beers have cooled me down nicely now though. Tomorrow even hotter it says.

It is something I never used. It looks like a large tank on there.

I had a 1960 moggy minor traveller. This was around 1968. Burned oil like no tomorrow until i found a miracle cure. It was called piston seal. Drove round all night at 30mph as instructions.

I think it burned more oil than ever after that.

Mine seems OK.

Steve.

That would do it. No chance of the screw binding & undoing the finest threads .

Yes the green casting well of line hole. Going to check mine now.

Steve.

I wonder if you could pin it.. just in case the locktite came unstuck.

Steve

Ah yes I see what you mean. Fingers crossed. I guess you could even silver solder if needs be. Although thread soak might be an issue. Great idea so far.

Steve.

Looking good.

Will there be enough meat on the nut to get descent size screws in to hold that flange.

Steve.

Great little 1st project. Well done.

Steve.

This one after trying a few works just fine , & my workshop is a wayze from the house router & it works great. See pic. Not expensive either. Netgear.

Steve.

Yes Old Mart please do post pics.

I Remember when i stripped mine down during covid to give you some dimensions. Will be interesting to follow.

Hi Joseph. The exam i took in 1989 was the RAE. At that time morse code was still an active part of the future exams. But as someone below has remarked, that was scrapped & no longer a part of the tests. The main limits of the Foundation licence are with the max 10W power. But most frequencies are open to use. I am M7DOZ. I simply rang Ofcom & asked the question. They emailed me a application form. I sent this back filled in , with copies of my City & Guilds Certificates.

1 Week later i had my callsign etc. I need to sit the Intermediate exam now.

I have sat a couple of mock past exam papers & passed with around 75% The pass mark here in the UK is 60%.

Grinned from ear to ear. My Radio Ham licence came through. I only took my City & Guilds RAE exam in 1989. But they still accepted them.

There is no distance. Any distance is ok. It could be half a mile away. Air . Water & hydraulic. No matter it matters not.

Steve.

You beat me to it. I had a similar problem running a die, which was a 3/8" BSW. Ended up using the collet block. Although Whitworth is very course & a swine at best of times.

Steve.

Yep me too. Chipped 2 faces of the 3 cornered one before i noticed it was in reverse..

Steve.

OO nasty. I have only seen odd youtube video's of him doing repair work on STEAM engines. Anyway i am not the person to crib anyone elses work. As i am only a Hammer chewer myself.

Steve

Oh my Hopper. Why are you guys so negative.

He & i know him personaly would not spin a yarn. Keith is a acomplished engineer & musician. He is not giving out bull--it. Come over from ausi & see for yourself.

Steve.

Just to add i have watched 3 parts of his video's & am proud to say i own a Myford. Very nicely made machine. Now i know why they command such a high price.

Steve.

Have a look at Keith Appleton's youtube. He is doing a 4 part series of the Myford factory. This will only be of interest to any Myford owners.

Enjoy. Some lovely machines.
