Thanks for the prompt reply to those queries. You're likely to be waiting a long time to read that I am enjoying the build, as I do not enjoy building as a rule. It is a necessary evil to get to the Use It stage.Armortek wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 10:16 amThanks for your constructive post as always Dave.
With regards to the questions that you asked yesterday via your emails:
- Use loctite 480 for part CE0491 into part ce1409
- CE0491 should sit flush with th efront face of CE1409
- CE1409 should be secured into CE2407. If the cone head bolts are not sufficient use loctite 638
I look forward to reading that you are actually enjoying the build at some point.
As an example, did I enjoy the time it took me to hand file just one of the thick lugs at the front of the turret to match the wrap's profile? Not in the least. I understand why it is the way it is, but it is not an enjoyable task. Having noted how difficult and tedious it is, I will likely haul it off to a local machinist and pay someone to do it for me. Enjoyment will come later, when it can actually be run.
