Body coming along

The body is starting to take shape. One picture with footboards, one without, and a detail showing the cutaway where the base of the gear lever will be. Crosshead screws are only being used where they won't show. The "pile" of parts is for the second body that is being built at the same time.

 

Bulkhead

The first part of the new body.

Timber for the body

Ash, and birch plywood to make the body.

Timing Gear

These are newly cast and machined timing gears, this particular gear goes on the crank. That's it, everything needed for balancing is ready bar a couple of studs. Full dry assembly next, then white-metalling and balancing.

Dynamo sleeve

The dynamo was in a post a few weeks ago, it's too small so a hollow cylinder has been cast which will be machined down to make a sleeve to hold the dynamo in place. It's out of sight thankfully!

Crank handle cone casting

There are three sizes of starter handle cone. I have two starter handles, but sod's law intervened so this is a new cone casting ready for machining. just behind it is a new radiator trunnion casting with the second one on the other side of the cross-shaft. Apologies for the blurry photo!

Rear hub

First rear hub complete.
