Season’s Greetings to all from a very sunny Redditch. I hope Santa brings you what you want tomorrow.

Happy Christmas!

The engine cowling has certainly come up well considering how bad it was to start with. A shame that all the hard work is hidden with these little jobs, but you get a great deal of satisfaction from achieving this kind of finish as well as knowing that you are still using the original part.

Looking forward to seeing it at Tractor World as well.

I have seen the original Briggs and Stratton training video as well, years ago when Ian Carr (the mad professor) used to run the training.

It is important for initial start up after rebuild to have the gaps staggered, but the rings will rotate in use and sooner or later the gaps will line up. They don’t stay lined up for long and carry on rotating, and so any loss of pressure will only be momentary and if the end gaps aren’t excessive then the pressure loss will be hardly noticeable anyway.

An interesting topic all the same!

I was thinking along the same lines, Alan, and I’ve spent the weekend rummaging through my collection of bits and pieces to try to find something that looks more the part.

You’re a genius, Oddhatuk. Whilst supplying a totally incorrect answer you’ve also given us one of the best answers of the year!

Unless, of course, you know different………

I’m guessing that the John Allen tracks pre-dated the searchlight installation, although it’s possible that they could have been made at roughly the same time. The searchlight ones are slightly different, though, in that they have a third wheel in the middle of the outer two. It is this sort that was used on the one-man stretcher in the video. They seemed to work well, too!

We’ve had quite a few spammers “having a go” at us recently and we are working on a fix in the background, but it’s unfortunate when one or two get through the defences occasionally.

Thank you for being patient, Chris.

I think you’ll find that he’s sold it, Dave. Nice try, though!
