Re: Neil Sayer Baldwin 50hp
开云体育I agree Duncan, one of my cranks was already split before fitting so I carefully bored them out to take 2mm top hat brass bushes.? The brass takes the stress induced by the Loctite used to retain the cranks when quartering is set and stops any stress getting to the plastic crank itself.? For completely different reasons I have replaced my cranks with brass ones cut from 1mm thick bar.? Generally these have worked well but I think I have got the centres wrong on one of the gearbox drive shaft cranks.? Mine runs better but not as well as I would like for shunting at exhibitions.? I think I need to remove the offending crank, fill the crankpin hole and re-drill to the right centres. Just need to find out which crank is wrong! I don’t know how I managed to get the centres wrong as they were all jig drilled the same but I suspect that a surface imperfection threw the small diameter drill off a bit. ? Cheers, Robin ?

My issue has been keeping the plastic cranks quartered, I'm on my 2nd set and still having problems. I intend fretting out some replacements from brass. You also need to watch the clearance for the cranks on the springs which protrude from the chassis. I still think its a great kit and builds up with character. |
