Re: Crankshaft dimensions

It's coming along nicely now. Everything is roughed out, and almost ready for the final machining. The con rods are proving to be a pain in the arse to make. I've made each one in three parts. I've tried to get the knife and fork design as best I can to make it look as accuate as possible.
I've put a fag lighter in the picture to give you some idea of the size..... 4" diameter flywheels, which is half original size. The pistons are scaled down 95 inch, made from ali tube and plugged at one end.
I'll finish it off completely and post a lot more pictures then with a bit of a write up....if you're interested.



Brian.

Re: Crankshaft dimensions

A bit more practice and you could be making one of these....

Nice looking job.

Re: Crankshaft dimensions

If I had the time and better machine tools.....I reckon I could do that. I have thought about having a go one day.....or should I get a life
