That print looks like it's half way through. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Fantastic work Phil, but won't all this engine detail stuff muffle the sound?

[Phil Woollard]

Not with that sound system john!
I have thought about it and that's one reason I installed what i did, the Armortek sound system is very powerful and comes with a warning that it will damage the speakers if set to high for extended periods, so there's plenty of scope for a more powerful speaker if it's selected correctly. Failing that I will add another amp.

Vince the sterling came out sterling! how do you fancy cading a slice of the gearbox top section, the exhaust expansion box and pipes? Now that would be awesome?
The exhaust pipes have the flexi sections in them to.

Vince the sterling came out sterling!

That's good to hear. Yesterday I sent you a stl file which had the stock (folded closed) included.

[Phil Woollard]

It would only be a slice of the very top of the gearbox yes I got that file to and will have a go later.

[Vince Cutajar]

Maybe Stephen has a better drawing of the gearbox.

[Phil Woollard]

I think even Stephen will be stumped with this request! I've got a 1/35 model of it but it's in Italy with Ivano .

[Ivano Costantini]

In the radiator, this handle must be outside the engine, in this case the left side of the tank

[Stephen White]

I think even Stephen will be stumped with this request! I've got a 1/35 model of it but it's in Italy with Ivano .

Why don't you ask him?

[Vince Cutajar]

Please. Pretty please.

Vince

[Phil Woollard]

Thanks Ivano.
The little engine and gearbox is on its way back to me so we will have all the measurements that we need very soon.
Been so busy my neck and back are killing me but I'm pleased with progress.

[Ivano Costantini]

I post on Phill's VIP because it is the most popular and I need a quick response.
I'm preparing the engine molds, do you prefer the bolts to be molded or do you prefer to put them in metal? When everything is painted you don't see the difference. Thank Ivano

[Vince Cutajar]

Hi Phil

Seems you have two urgent requests. One from Ivano and now one from me.

Finished the drawing for the generator silencer as per your drawing. The two brackets seem too long but I guess you can cut them to your requirement. Do you want the stl file with the brackets attached to the body of the silencer?

Vince

[Ivano Costantini]

Molded bolts, less work for those who buy the engine. Those who want real ones, made of metal, only remove the resin ones and replace them.

[Phil Woollard]

Ivano, yes molded is fine although the little bolts do look good in metal as they clean back nicely during wearthering .

Vince separate please if you will! It looks really nice. The exhaust looks to be away from the panniers sides on standoff brackets, if they are separate I can cut or print shorter.

Just been for a covid 19 swab test, just to be sure I haven't already had it!
