Roy's Little Engine

[Jasonb]

Think I would mill down the side of the bracket and fit a side piece with a CSK screw and a product you may not have heard of called JBWeld.

I thought you were not going to be entering or is someone going to bring it home for you so you still get a free entry ticket

Graham, did you see this one?

Is this back together and runable yet? You seem to have quite a list of engines ready for the first trials, may be I should come over to England and help 

[Jo]

Roger you would be more than welcome  Sadly my running crew has had his driving license taken away so can't come visiting to 'help' any more  So until I find a replacement I am rather stuck

As for the RLE the replacement arm was lost somewhere in the workshop just before the Bristol show and I am still waiting for it to materialise  In the meantime I am doing fastners again 

Jo

P.S. You could say hello to my DRO fitted Praizmat if you visited 

[Jasonb]

Once you get that mobility machine you will have no excuse for not taking your engines to your crew rather than hoping they will visit.

[Jo]

I tried that yesterday but his health wasn't up to it

Hi Jo.

Would you like a replacement rocker bracket casting?

I'm down in the Midlands next week to pick up the platform castings I could give one to Andy.

Cheers Graham.

[Jo]

Thanks Graham but once I find what the Workshop Gnome has done with it I will be using the one I started 

If you are coming over the border any chance of bringing that pair of lightweight Stuart flywheels with you to save on the postage, I am sure Andy will love looking after them for a couple of weeks

Jo

[Chipmaster]

Yes I’ll look after the flywheels for you Jo.
Handover over at the Midland show, another car park rendezvous ?

Hi Jo.

Well.... I'm still thinking about " those " lightweight flywheels as you call them.

Thing is they're not as easily replaced in this day and age. And I also wonder if Andy knows what he's letting himself into??

Cheers Graham.

[Jo]

Andy: Sounds good hopefully you might have some other castings for me from Graham as well 

Did we agree on Friday 

Well.... I'm still thinking about " those " lightweight flywheels as you call them......and I also wonder if Andy knows what he's letting himself into??

   

They must be 'light'weight as the engine needs two of them 

Jo

[Chipmaster]

I assume flywheels for the Stuart Lightweight are only a few inches diameter and not too heavy so perhaps a heads up or pictures are needed.
The Midlands exhibition opens on Thursday 18th October, I can do the Thursday or Friday but prefer first day if possible.

Something make me think that by" Lightweigh" Jo means you should be beefing up your rear suspension

[Alyn Foundry]

Hi Andy.

Hmmm.... Start thinking on 16 inches in diameter nearly 3 inches across the face and a double figures of Kilograms..... EACH!!

Cheers Graham.

[Jo]

Being retired I can do Thursday 

My drawings show 14" diameter and 2 1/4"  Andy is a big strong gentleman 

Jo

[Chipmaster]

Crikey that’s similar to a Lister D or Wolseley WD flywheel I have lifted several of them when I collected stationary engines almost twenty years ago but I wouldn’t be so confident these days, are they solid or spoked? I see your point Graham and wonder why you want two of those Jo ?
