Keep 'em on the minus side John, too long and they won't fit in the fire box.

To take a leaf out of the olde gunsmiths' book - to do it properly the screws should be regulated so the slots fall to the right position at the right tension.

Thanks Dave, but several posts of mine since 26/2 up until just now, have also gone missing.

Am I imagining things, or has this thread been gutted of several posts, including some of my own?

Bugger! Tel's Rule of engagement #5247 - Never mark out centres for gears without the gears on hand. You could make an offset bush for the camshaft hole..

Scaling the engine up should measnt you have a bit of latitude and don't have to stick slavishly to the 50mm centre distance - alter that to fit an easily obtainable/makeable pair of gears.

Man!!! Talk about a sledge hammer to crack a nut, any half decent set of side cutters 6" or above should handle 1mm spring wire with ease.

'fraid I must disagree - a good quality carbon tap will give you a better cut in most any material than what a HHS one will. HHS are called 'heavy handed' taps in my workshop.

As often as not I do 'em this way as well, tho the only marking I usually do is the starting point and the bottom of the port with a 'Sharpie' magic marker.

Something must be happening, it appears as though I now have 'quote'. 'link'  capacities

Well just about none of it works for me - FF 10.0.2 on Win 2000 - I can get images 'from album' but virtually nothing else works - put the old one back IMHO

No argument here!

Ah, so the Earth is really flat after all then? I knew them crazy 'Round Earthers' were wide of the mark!
