New timing gears

New timing gears. Some are in brass, others are in steel. They alternate to keep the noise down. All my steel ones are OK, but the brass ones are all damaged so I need a set of those.

 

Cam Follower

Machining the first cam follower.

Cam Followers

The start of the process to make cam followers (levers that the camshaft pushes down, opening the valves).First the CNC profile.

Then a test machining on a brass rod.

Beaulieu International Autojumble 2014

Well, it's been a long time since the last post. Lots has been happening, but no photos. My owner did manage to get down to the Autojumble though. He bought a few small bits, spent too much time in the beer tent probably.

Soon there should be some more photos as more parts I am missing may come out of the mist. Much negotiation is going on, we'll see...

Most of the bits above will be used as swaps, but the connectors (bottom right) may get used for my rear lights - if he ever gets them restored.

The block is being machined, the new crank is being machined, the crankcase is ready for white-metaling to take the crank... watch this space.

Stig - raising money for disability challengers

Annabel has been raising money for Disability Challengers, and then won a bottle of wine in the raffle.

 

A good day at (very sunny) Beaulieu Spring Autojumble

A Rotax MT77 starter, and a thirteen tooth bendix. The starter was cheap, it needs a bit of work but can then be sold at a profit, the 13T bendix is a very rare item that might be of use. It all depends on what ring gear is used on the flywheel.

That was close!

I guesstimated how much HT lead I would need to make a new set of spark plug and magneto/coil cables for Annabel as the old ones were rotting (I got zapped). This is the leftover cable. I'm not sure why I bothered to cut it off really.
