Also in the post today...



With THANKS to Keithy, ... a set of his bonnet vents! B)

Good timing, as I should be back on the front in a couple of weeks... by then a pair of struts and brackets (which will need tweaking!) should have arrived from overseas too...

It’s all coming together!

A break from the shop this afternoon, so I was having a tinker in the garage...



This is the template I use for re-drilling flanges... it's the end off an old prop...



This the other end of it (out of the slip joint) I kept this as I was strangely proud of it?! :woohoo:

Onto the pillar drill...



And we have a dual hole prop flange... 8mm and 10mm holes added ;)

Better go and walk the Labradors! ;)

The engineer in me is having a bit of a fit that those holes have broken through! The farmer in me on the other hand sees nothing wrong at all.

LOL :lol:

It’ll be fine... they can’t go anywhere ;)

Besides, the bolts are location / clamping, the prop / flange faces are indexed and friction holds them together...

Hmmm, some BluTac and Gaffa tape too?!
