I read this as referring to me and my fit (sic) ass. The Brough would have to be at least 3/2 scale, not 2/3 scale!

Craig (wide load)

I've got the duel float Amal Carburettor pretty much knocked out.
I think it's all come up well.

I maybe missing a little detail on the part I'm calling the doohickie, it's the piece that holds the two float bowls in place.
I'll do a bit more research over the weekend and see what I can find.

I've lengthened the tube over the opening of the carbie a little to bring it more inline with the bowls.
I just reckon it looks kooler that way (a little bit of artistic licence).

I'll have a go at making a couple of Sparkplugs over the weekend.

I've got to nick into the museum tomorrow and pickup the Indian.
Hopefully they'll have something there with some 1920's era Lodge plugs in it.

Cheers
Trev.

She's a fine thing

Looking fantastic as always Trev,

I got the first of the two plugs pretty much knocked into shape.
It's meant to look like a Lodge H1 from around 1925.

The fittings I've got on top of the plug are obviously wrong at the moment, but they'll do until I find better ones.

The plugs made from washers, bits of pens, MDF and plastic pipe.
I'm pretty happy with the way it's come up so I'll get stuck into the other one.

Not being picky but are the ......ght

No but seriously the top 3 ring things look a little over diameter, but I'm not looking and it could be camera angle and vanadhing point and who knows what else

Looking good and if you had not shown the original thats all i would have said

Im just glad that if I'm right you'll be able to use your 2/3 scale socket and unscrew it from the thread you tapped voh but if im right the socket might not fitover them rings

Im drawing and projecting lines all over the screen here. It might be ok. I think you're on the money

Phew

To the intrained eye they would have daid thise fins are in line .... oh wrong topic ... theywould have said rins are over sized but i reckon youve just scraped it. Make sure its only a 2/3 thickness layer of paint

Trev,

Looking excellent. Us metal turners would be able to turn up the top of the spark plug screwed fittings for you. I assume they would be imperial. If you send some detail - I will knock a couple up for you

Charlie

I could turn one from wood
