We'll Call it Metisse......
Stilldrillin:
Time for another, orphan rebuild session!
This, distressed non runner. A Seig HAE 03/ Grizzly H8104, arrived last September.........

I pulled it out of the orphanage a couple of days ago.
Couldn't think what to call it. A pal suggested Metisse.
As it will be a bit of a mongrel, by the time it's done. I thought, that will fit nicely! :ThumbsUp:
Apologies to any bike men out there who were hoping for a different project. I don't think the Rickman Brothers should be too concerned!
It's been mangled together, by a bad tempered gorilla. Nothing is in line/ square. Even the factory installed displacer bush is leaning!
The cooling fins had been jammed on at half mast. Then someone has tried to "unscrew" them. Breaking the swaged joint......
A few days soaking in WD40, allowed the ring to be pulled off. Giving access to the displacer, cylinder flange screws.
The square flange would spin, like a ball bearing.......
M5 screw, to drive the flange. Plus a digging in tool.........
Came apart nicely........
Silver soldered........
Thanks for the dip n dab, fluxing tip Jo! ;) Wicked through, nicely.......
A 3 thou' flick across the face. Near enough........
That's the first bit, straight and square.......
Shouldn't take too much to sort..... Mebbe!

Jo:
Hey I had a Stuart beam with similair properties: nothing was machined square on that either :-\.
Nice to see another orphan being loved :ThumbsUp:

It's already looking better David. It should make a fine display model once restored too.

Can't find it at the moment, but one of the lads on the Model Engineer web site built one of these a year or so ago, I think some of the drawings for it are on the thread. Ian S C

Well done! Should be a beauty now that it's in the right hands.
What is Jo's dip n dab technique? I'm hoping it refers to soldering and not one of her suitors.
