Can anyone identify these castings.
| Maurice | 05/08/2017 19:37:26 |
| 469 forum posts 50 photos | I am helping to clear the workshop of a friend who died a little while ago. I have found the castings shown in the pictures. There are six altogether, three with the cylindrical projection and three without. The hollow cylindrical portion is 15/16" diameter, with a bore of 3/4". The parallel part is 1 7/8" long. The part that closes the end is 1 5/8" diameter 5/32" thick. The projection on three of them is 1/2" diameter and 7/16" long. They have a very smooth finish and seem too good to discard or mutilate without trying tom find out what they are. Any suggestions please?

| 469 forum posts 50 photos | I thought this at first glance and from a distance, but hollow cast iron buffers seem unlikely. If the quality of the iron matches the obvious care with which they were made, I think they would be a nice source of cylinder liners. |
