Stellite drills - there the ones - thanks for that Alan

Hi, Do any of the engineering members out there know the name of the (or do they even still exist?) drills that were used on Inconel, Nimonic or other high nickel content super alloys? They were triangular in section and slightly fluted and would only cut once reaching cherry red from friction when ...

Ian, It does seems an eminently sensible idea to make the exhaust system modifyable should it be required. You don't need to be an Adolf Schnürle,Walter Kaaden or Joseph Erhlich to know that some aspects of 2 stroke port and exhaust system design still remain a black art. Whilst worked on racing 2 s...

Hi Ian, The doors look quite superb - with your obvious woodworking skills its a wonder that you haven't taken up aeromodeling ;) ;). Having just rebuilt 4 very heavy wooden garage doors and replaced a side door might I suggest, if clearance allows, that you add rain drips to the bottom - mine had s...

Hi Colin, Sorry to hear of your loss but i can't speak highly enough of the Somerton police - i recently had my garage broken into on a Friday evening and had a £7k racing bike stolen and a number of power tools.

As a for instance and worst case scenario (and in the case of Santander) if you issued or received a cheque aft...

But it could have been so much worse. Many years ago and before i retired from the Worlds Favourite,i remember a terrifying episode when the undercarriage shop were stripping a Trident main gear assembly. All that was left was the undoing and removal of the large gland nut that held the inner fescal...

Hi - Does anyone out there own a Toni Clark Tiger Moth (2700mm W/S) and fitted with the option Zenoah 38/reduction gear engine? As the scale noise is at least important as the aeroplane (to me at least) would the same airframe be better suited to the OS il300 (or similar semi - scale Gypsy Major eng...
