That jig is a great idea, I like it!Simon
I made exactly the same mistake as you with the hight and did the bends exactly the same as you. I wonder how many other budding model makers did this On reflection it seems like it would catch anyone without an engineering background. Nice job with the jig.Pete
if the threads were not cut precisely, there was a very good chance the pin would wind up not being truly square to the surface of the disk.
Good thinking, as I have discovered this is the source of binding on previous engines like this. I, too, cut a small shoulder to help keep things square.
Looks good.How did you do the rivets?Why not use bolts?I don't have a good visualization...will that counterweight with rivets get in the way?
Nice work on the crankdisk and pin Jim. The assembly looks like it shoudl work perfectly. I like the added character provided by the counterweight and rivets too!!Bill
