Or have they gone the whole hog and done it to suit metric stock sizes, metric threads etc? |

Thank you to all who have chipped in....very much appreiated, and very informative! Does anyone have an idea where I can find a castings kit with metric dimentions please? You won't. but the best bet is to buy the book and use the metric plans in that together with a standard casting kit. My post above crossed, the answer may be useful if someone can confirm how metric the book drawings are. |

. There are some interesting comments in the Amazon reviews: **LINK** https://www.amazon.co.uk/Building-Vertical-Steam-Engine-Castings/dp/1857610962 Apparently there is an edition which has dual dimensions, but the later one is all metric ... I know that doesn’t confirm what you asked, but it might be useful to know. MichaelG. |
