Ramon, Have you any updates on this project?.

It was interesting to see a picture of Ramon's con rods. I enclose a couple of pics

of how I produced mine for the Stuart Triple.

Many thanks to Trevor, Roderick, Dave and Noel for their replys

Did anyone watch the Repair Shop on BBC 1 last Wednesday night?.

One of the restorers was using a hand held laser cutter, dose anyone

know anything about this gadget, who sells them, the cost and what maximum thickness will they cut?.

I have a photostat copy of the B & S dividing head manual.

If anybody wants a copy inbox me.

And one for the wife,

Just right for the holidays.

The photo shows a Quorn cutter grinder that I made some years ago.

You will note that I did not make the ball ended clamping leavers, instead

I used 5/16 BSF cap head screws with a suitable modified Allan Key

I was the proud owner of a Thiel 158 but I always wanted a Deckel FP3.

Ian, I have just messaged you regarding con rods.

**LINK** If he doesn't stock them he will make them for you.

You will find all the info you need for Stuart valve setting on the Stuart website.

Hi David, I obtained a set of castings when Stuart first produced them many

years ago. I think the most difficult part to make is the 4 jaw chuck.

I you need any help or advise on this please PM me.

I have the same problem so I deleted BT Protect but I still get the same message.

Dose anybody out there have any answer to this.

Thanks Dianne and no I am not building it, due to age, health and eyesight problems

I am now just a armchair model engineer bur I can spend hours studying drawings.

This beats Coronation St or Eastenders every time.

Jason, I don't know if you are aware that Polly Engineering can now supply a full

set of drawing and casting and I believe they are sourcing the steel pipe.

Maybe our esteemed editor Dianne Carney can answer this question.

What as happened to Anthony Mount's construction series on the

Ferrabee Engine, it started in the ME in issue No 4558, followed

by 4560 and then 4562. I was expecting the series to continue

in the latest edition of ME No 4564 but nothing, is there any reason for this?.
