![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | It's not done with the Progress SV castings as they are only 1/2" bore, You can also see a joint line where the valve block is fitted to the curved cylinder and the shape of the A frames is arrived at by turning. Only thing SV and warrior about it is the use of square flanges at the top of the A frame to cylinder joint. Not sure what base castings Ian can see by looks all bar stock to me, two rectangular rails onto a bit of plate Edited By JasonB on 17/05/2023 10:22:19 |

![]() 5 forum posts 5 photos | Hi I have had a little look at the reeves Worrior . a lot of the measurements are the same but the bed plate is fabricated , I have made a new crank has the old one was beyond respire. the warrior had a 5/8 " stroke and 3/4 bore the new crank I made is 3/4 stroke and 3/4 bore . but it runs ok on very little air , I will up load video when I have done some more bits to it . thanks Jeff |
