A last couple of little bits (Spring steel points arm and ratchet arm for the carb) and we have a prop ready engine 

The hub is rather large and I don't have any props that will fit   



In the meantime I saw another set of castings on the dining room table

Hi Jo

He's a handsome little chap    and such a quiet runner   

( The medics have decided all the bits of my knee are probably somewhere near where they ought to be and it should improve over the next couple of weeks.
Took the opportunity to send the Fozzy off for a makeover while I was having one . All waxed and shiny, cleaned the alloys and now smells all flowery and poncy inside. No crappy steaks on the glass either. For what it costs might just as well let them do it.  )

Have fun,

Almost there  I do think that you should use a flywheel and electric starter for the first runs. ETW recommended this in the road roller build.

OK then   ... STREAKS  ... 

I'll have the chips and mushrooms. You can keep the other two ... 
Why do you want a plate with rare steak anyway ??  Just find a field of cows and take a bite out of one ... 

Don't go in the office. Tell 'em your Faith forbids it. Seems to work for most things now.

PS   Or tell 'em you're allergic to it. Allergies are very popular now it seems ..
