Hi GrahamNice to see another one running, So I'm a bit confused it appears that Reeves is still selling a Heinrici casting kit, is this different than the one that you own the patterns and rights to?I have a reeves kit that I purchased from a friend may years ago, it is all cast iron except for the main cylinder which is aluminum. We may have chatted about this in the past.I was hoping to be able to get one of your iron stands for it but not sure where you ended up with them? If they all got sold that's ok.Dave
Graham, what would you suggest for the likes of Dave who have an all aluminium cylinder? I would be inclined to bore it out an fit an iron one much like the current offering from Reeves combined with a lapped iron piston.Interesting thought about the screwed attachment as I think the original engines used a threaded flange, concentric ones certainly did.
Must find some time to have another flick over of mine Jo
