Re: Reverse tumbler Mod for a 9A
Full sympathy, Mike. If I'm trying to stick a late bid on ebay (uk) I hit the bid button at least 20 secs before the auction end, or just put on the max I am willing to pay an hour or so before and go and do something else. I'm not saying 20 secs will work for everybody. Depends on your broad band speed etc. You need to develop your own late bid timing interval. (It once worked so finely for me that I was accused of being a robot!)

Nope , I was the high bidder & in the last 60 seconds it went up %$20.00 & it wouldn't let me bid . This is only the second time I've tried/used Ebay & the first time had a couple of problems . Now I'm racking my brain on how to do it with the factory tumbler .

Sounds like you had a network reliability issue on your side. It happens with both phones and laptops. Next time, figure out how much you want to pay and bid it upfront. Then if you lose the auction you don't blame yourself for being to slow.?

Re: Metal Lathe Accessories
I placed an order with MLAToolbox late last summer and tried to call and email Andy several times but got no response. Then back in December I received an email from
Jared Pilch ( Metal Lathe Accessories) using Andy's email address. He filled my order and shipped it to me. I'm thinking that Andy may not be around anymore and Jared is either selling out his stock or taking over the business. I'd give them a call and leave a message.
Hi There,?
For the last two weeks, I have been sending emails to
Metal Lathe Accessories but I haven't receive any
response.? Are they no longer in business?
Good Luck!

Re: Metric threading on 10L ?
Yeap, that's me :)
The 17 or 34 tooth gear should be close enough for general fastener use. It does depend on the ability to swing the banjo far enough for engagement. I've never tried it myself so I cannot be sure of that.
allan
This is what I found on this issue.? I have not made the 34 tooth gear yet, I've bought the cutter set and made the arbor, but other things got in the way.
I've also attached my thread calcs. (my format, my use, no accounting for taste, no promises that it makes sense to anybody else)

Re: Metric threads/Imperial threads
Impact wrench = ordinary spanner + hammer.
For many years I ran minis. I think I owned 5 in succession. I would buy them at about 3 years and keep them about 4. The mini clutch is well known to be a bit on the small side, particularly for the more powerful ones, so the first evening of decent weather after buying one, I would renew the clutch. The whole assembly is inside out, with the flywheel sitting on a taper outside the clutch, with a single big bolt through the middle. There is a special tool (a plate ring spanner, that does the flywheel bolt, the front suspension ball joints and the first motion shaft in the gearbox). You have to take the starter off anyway, to allow the application of a hammer to break the taper holding the flywheel on in conjunction with a threaded puller (a plate with 3 bolts in it), so a screwdriver in the ring gear prevents rotation. Simple. I could dash home from work at 16:00, (17 minutes walk), grab a bite to eat change a clutch and be in the pub (2 mins walk) before last orders at 22:50, even allowing handwashing time.
A tale about tops of pistons. Before I could afford a car, I ran around on a Honda 50 (C100, the early push rod model). Due to a muffed downward gear change when going down a steep hill in county Durham, I overreved it, whereupon it lost compression. Stripping revealed a bent valve, which was renewed & the whole lot thrown back together without a further thought. The valve had hit the top of the piston to achieve its modified shape. The valves on that engine are steeply inclined, and it had hit right at the edge of the piston. About 2000 miles later, it started smoking and drinking oil. Stripped it, top ring broken because it had jammed in its groove which had been tightened by the impact, so now it wanted a piston, rings and a rebore due to the consequent damage which could have all been avoided if I had pulled the barrel & checked the rings at the first repair. The upshot is: don't apply point loads to the tops of pistons on i/c engines. They are intended for even gas pressures. All I would ever put down the spark plug or injector hole of an i/c engine is a dial gauge for the purpose of determining TDC.

Well, probably, but I wasn't fixing a cylinder head. I was making a
spark plug plug tool. You take out the spark plug, insert the tool, and
it prevents the piston from passing TDC so you can remove the crank
shaft nut. Not something most people would be aware of.
