Got the 1/4-32 tap set from American Model Engineering Supply.     I took the opportunity to get a full tap set in this size...taper, plug and bottom...

I'll make up another "box" with the appropriate screw machine drill for tap and clearance.

Should be able to finish off the head....feeling off today...be we will see.

Whuts up dog? I sure like the box idea on the taps. I bet you already had the 10-40 box, but, nooooooooooo you wanted more tooling, so, I'll order the 1/4-32 plugs:LittleDevil: good boy, good boy. If your feeling a little off today you might have to call Steamer2 off the bench, you can still call the plays, we'll just give him the credit, that's all. y'all have a great day and have us some pics for the evening edition. 8)

Yo Redneck,
Eric

Hey guys.....

I got the plugs, and the taps..so the spark plug ports are next.  I need to make a couple things though
I need to mount the head to my angle table.  It has large T slots, so I need to mount the head to a plate to hold on to it, so I'll use the port fixture as a holding fixture to do the spark plug holes too.


That means the next thing to do is make the fixture!....then I need to take the vise off and put the tilt table on.

I have kid duty for a while...but I think my son will be coming in the shop later.... :whoohoo:

Allergies...I noticed the other day several puddles rimmed with yellow stuff. Makes one think of sulfur.

Say Dave, just how close are you to running/finishing this? How many parts? Any chance you're close to a family shot?

That's coming along great Dave. Put a ruler next to it next time. I can't really tell how big it is.

Hey Don,

Hope your feeling better!.....I'll put the ruler there...but the vise a good part of it is sitting on is 4" wide.
