Got the gears silver soldered to the blanks for the clutch cup discs today...

With them joined, I can drill/bore the shaft bearing holes and start shaping the cup on the other sides of the steel discs...

Thank you Per  :ThumbsUp:

On with the scavenge pump inlet valve block. This will have a 1mm gasket to the scavenge pump cylinder which will hold the outlet valves in place. The top cover will have some plugs/spigots to keep the inlet valves in their housings. The Hylomar sealant will probably be sufficient but I always like to make sure that things stay in place.

I'm still following these clutches with great interest  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp: :wine1:
Me too!  First time I've made clutches, hopefully they work and I don't have to redesign them!   :cheers:

Glad the lathe was easily fixed  :)  Your description of the various scroll saw blades and the speed/lifespan is very interesting  :ThumbsUp:  :ThumbsUp: I am just about to start some sheet aluminium work.

A nice save  :ThumbsUp:  :ThumbsUp: I had to plan an extension for the crankshaft on my Junkers engine due to the limitations of my lathe.

Good recovery. Did you thread the extension or just make it a tight fit before applying Loctite?

Thanks Per

There is something gratifying about being able to understand where the mistake was made, working out a solution, then fixing it. Some mistakes are terminal and would need a restart, but as as you say 'The Learning Experience' is valuable

Just time to make and fit the offset 'button' which turns the yoke for the valves. Oh, and made the hole/thread/rod to hold the flywheel to the shaft.
