Sounds like a great 'find'. Just what you need for accurate bore measurements.

You will not regret buying it. I started getting them on ebay about 5 years ago. Way easier to measure a bore.

A nice little piece of kit, Dave!

Nice piece of kit - that will be tremendously useful.

Got my bore gage today.    It's sweet!   Needed a touch of cleaning, but it works very well.   I'm going to go find a 1" ring gage master as a check point...

Also picked up a 1-2 mic with tenths vernier and a friction thimble   It checks out accurate....

If you can find a second 1" ring gauge at a reasonable price, let me know.

I've seen at least 3 on ebay today in the $20 range used.   I found a 21.4315mm gage, the bore on the 917 engine is 21.488....so close enough to what I'm trying to measure.   ( the bore could be 21.431 just as easily as 21.488    )

I think I paid $43.59 with free shipping and it's still in its sealed wax coating!

Thanks Dave

Some on ebay UK starting around £40, but all too big a diameter for my gauge. I will keep looking

New tools!   

You can never have enough toys.

Great find Dave.

Got some nice pictures of stuff I've not seen a good one for.    Very helpful with respect to the cam covers, the front engine mount/bell housing, and the exhaust pipes

[steamer]

And another

[crueby]

That last picture looks like the engine out of a sci-fiction spaceship!

[steamer]

Working on Cleaning up the front engine mount.    That last picture really clarifies it.

Getting closer.....

Morning Dave,
Why is it always like that? If you have collected a thousand photos, there are always details that are not visible. That's some good information you found. I like how you were able to use it to refine the front of the 3D model.

Cheers

Mike
