Vertical steam engine with Stuart cylinder
Michael S.:
Hi Jason, you have to help me. What are CSK screws? Countersunk screws?
It's probably used like that at the bottom end. I can see that in the first image of the computer animation. There you can also see that the guide rod isn't round. A square shape is better. In the blueprint, it's round. I assume it's simply inserted into the plate at the top. I'll do it that way.

Michael S.:
The distance between the two rods in the upper area is not the bolt circle diameter of the 6 cylinder head screws.
Jasonb:
What is the distance between the inside faces of the guide bars? If something like 20mm than two flats machined onto the spigot would allow the bars to be screwed on to that.
Michael S.:
Thanks Jason for the helpful advice.
I drilled a 3 mm hole in one of the slots (notches). I could insert the rod there with a tenon or file a square hole.
But your last suggestion is good, and I could do it that way. Thanks.
Michael
Michael S.:
I'll continue with this now. A vertical steam engine that will get a cylinder from a Stuart 7, and underneath it will be a Duval engine. I think it will work well together.
The piston and piston rod are finished and will be installed. The stuffing box and an oil reservoir have also been made. But there's still a lot to do.
