Chris;

What size AN fitting might work in your adapter? I have a few very large AN fittings in aluminum and stainless that I'd be happy to donate to The Cause.

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ

Neil, THANK YOU!

Let's see how the plumbing comes together. 

Mark also has a small raftload of AN fittings and hoses that he wants to get out of his garage.

They're stacked up on his fly tying bench - and he's looking to clear that off for more important endeavors than maintaining Midget records.

Actually, I've never been fly fishing.  I'm familiar with a great spot for trout in Allamakee County, up by McGregor, Iowa.

But I'm just trying to figure out what bait works best for flies, and why you simply wouldn't taxidermy them, instead of tying them.

Meah . . . as long as there's beer in it.

Chris, I think if you tie them they stay alive longer than taxidermy.... for what ever reason... 
Beer should always be involved

I think they (the flies) only wear ties on special occasions (Sunday go to meeting?)

I always thought that it was a very specific and particularly twisted perversion myself.

midget,

Whilst pondering my next choice of craft brew to obsess over, the thought "popped" into my head about making the adjustable pressure relief valve.

Do you still have the original oil pump assembly from the engine?     Might be able to machine that PRV plug, into an adjuster for the new pump.


Please, please, please, DO NOT, tell me you have "binned" it. 


If you have already binned it:

A/   DO NOT pass Go,
2/   DO NOT collect $200.00
d/   Move, immediately, to Australia . . . . . . .

No slight intended to Australians, it would just be YOUR turn to put up with him . . . . . . in YOUR hemisphere!

Minor Update . . . . .

Cam drive, crank trigger wheel  . . . . .  PORN!

Spent a bit of time Monday slapping some more bits onto the mockup with the goal of finishing a couple of other "small" projects . . . . . .     

Took a batch of photos (Did I say porn?  Well, PORN for racers anyway . . . . .)  to provide an idea of how much space is required at the front of the engine.
Since you were talking about "trimming off" part of the timing belt guard, on the oil pump, to gain some room, have a gander at these photos.

The trigger wheel is larger in diameter than the belt guard, seems like a wank . . . . .  even with a smaller diameter trigger wheel . . . . . .
















Peruse, and respond . . . .

midget,

Since I was placing an order with McMaster/Carr this AM,  I added some new 6mm flange bolts to the order.    So I can: BOLT STUFF TOGETHER.

I'm not even going to ask you to scrounge through your "parts dungeon", er, "spares locker" to find the originals . . . . . .

10.9, black phosphate, just like the 8mm ones you sent down.

The lower crossmember is going to be replaced, and the back of it will run parallel with the back edge of the rack support bar.

So it appears as though the timing wheel position will work as you have it.

Mark - get me that McMaster bill - I don't want to leave you short of beer money.

It's probably in the old Samsonite I pitched out with my expired passport.

If I have it, it's not readily at hand.  I wanted it for precisely this reason, and went through the shelves last Thursday looking for it before I came down.

If you need a part best found somewhere in UK, sing up.

We did export K 4-cyl cars to Australia (and NZ) but that's a bit far to go for half an oil pump, surely.

[forker]

oh, and belt covers are good when there's airborne dirt and small hard pieces; you don't want a stone under the belt, I can tell you from previous experience.

I appreciate that - a lot.

I think I've got everything out of GB that I'm going to need.

But it was 2014 that I started tearing this thing down, and I'm still trying to think as to how to remember where I put the notes that I wrote to remind me where I was putting the stuff I seem to have misplaced - but maybe it's all here . . . although I can't find the notes . . . or the stuff . . .
