  5. Posted by Glyn R on 21/07/2013 18:44:45: I use a holesaw in a drillstand. Use a backing board helps to reduce tearing. I would also have a backing board to centralise and already cut to a depth of 1/8" (3mm). Making sure the power is off at the wall and cut by rotating backwards by hand whilst maintaining light pressure. Also these things are probably made of cheese so you could use a fine hacksaw blade ground to fit in the holder. They are hardened steel so health & safety equipment must be used (they can and will shatter) and common sense, also gentle heat... David

  13. I have used fuse wire in the past with good results. I use a blow lamp on one of these Tin mans Irons & Bakers Fluid wash and wash again after as the flux is very corrosive. Or non corrosive Plumbers flux, heat the iron and flow the solder job done... Done this way you cannot over heat the piano wire. PS... I do not use a Vintage one though as they must be for a very special job going by the price they want, you can make one for nowt or a buy new one from a tool shop (hard to find a good one these days though).

  14. Posted by Erfolg on 15/07/2013 14:57:57: I have just ordered 10 off, 2mm Clevisis from BRC. Whom also do not have them apparently in stock, but take the order. My thoughts but then if they did take our order they do not want us all screaming at them (where the devil are they, when will they be in stock). If they reply, that is vital staff reasorces being used (someone emailing when they could be posting etc.) Just look at HK's site for that happening. Do your best GS I will buy from you or ... but I will always look to you first, all the best you have my support for now. Regards David

  19. Hi Danos what like this + you may need this PM me please I may have ... Oh and while you wait, it is not Just us mate :- All in all, jet engines are more powerful, retain their performance at high speed and altitude, and are more reliable. They certainly have removed some of the romance of flying, however. Starting a jet engine is pretty boring. Some aircraft like the T-38 and C-141 have completely automatic engine start sequencers - you just push the start button and make sure you get a clean light off. Others, like the Boeing 727 allow the pilot to actually turn on the fuel at the appropriate N2 RPM. Nothing can compare to the art of starting a cantankerous P & W radial, though. With the radial there is absolutely no science involved - it is a black art which requires a complex vocabulary of curses and encouragements, appropriate body English, and a highly skilled left hand (at least on a Caribou). There is no finer sound than 2000 cubic inches of Pratt and Whitney coming to life in a billowing cloud of blue oil smoke and settling down to a contented idle. David
