Though there may have been another design in Tubal Cain's book on building teh No 9 J Edited By JasonB on 07/10/2011 20:08:43

Here is a picture of what's in the Stuart kit http://stevewithnell.wordpress.com/tag/stuart-governor/ And here is a trial fit from my blog: http://stevewithnell.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/fly-ball-governor-trial-fit/ Steve

Best hope would be that its shown in the book and you can use that as a guide, should not be too hard to fabricate the base casting and it will look more in proportion to the other design. Stew Hall will be detailing a nice governor for his overcrank that could be adapted. J
