two things cleared up here...the 5 mm flats on crank bearings..I was stumped as to what the 5mm dimension was as 2mm hole on my drawings did'nts show square around lube hole...I did note the change from 10 to 12 crank but I did wonder if I was missing something.

Stewart, or anyone else, are up to date drawings available?...not sure where I found the ones I have but would love up to date if available. Have just made base and part of crank and bearing mounts..long way to go yet tho.

Long gone are the days when Draughtsmen drew pictures of things they were acquainted with so stood half a chance of the bits fitting together. Having said that, there was/is still postings on "Errors on drawings". The ability to "Design" something doesn't automatically follow the ability to "Draw" it on a drawing package and Vicky Verky. After twenty five years using a board, ink and graphite I went on a course teaching me how to use Acad 12. After the series of basics and tricks to get lines on a screen and manipulation thereof to resemble recognisable objects, at the end of the course, passing written and practical tests resulted in a C&G certificate announcing competency in drawing using Acad 12. I often wondered how the Bricklayer and Car Salesman on the course would convince an employer of their ability to fit into a drawing environment, even though the bit of paper said they could?

Notwithstanding and no criticism to present company, the worst person to check a drawing is the originator and despite a "Checker" having signed off my drawings, I could find errors they had missed and this was a "Propper" Ingineer checking them.

Don't shoot the messenger if the request is to send three and fourpence.
