Thanks for the input fellows, I'll post anything I cobble up! Cheers Garry

Kaje / Gus - thanks fellows! I bought a Canadian version of the HF shown and have been planning to build a base for it. Appreciate the two of you taking the time to document how you did it. Having been there done that; would you say the vertical or horizontal position is more useful? I'm...

John; Go to Yahoo Groups and search for the Whittle V8 Group. Look under Files and you'll find the drawings and build notes (two parts). Garry

Gail; "Accidental wheelie" my butt...that's what you've been telling the police officer :D. A little more practice and you can remove the wheelie training wheels! Glad to see you in recovery mode and nice to see you back here. You taught me a lot thru your postings, keep at it, I've got a lot...

Alan; This may help - the lowest tooth count for a gear cutter "range" is the most "perfect", the others less so. Can't tell you if that's particularly important in our hobby application..... http://www.precisioncuttingtools.co.uk/gearshap.html Cheers Garry

"Go Leafs" :eek: my God man I'm a Habs fan !!!!! Thanks for the info, I'll work from that and if I get jammed I'll PM you for the details. Your mill is almost the same color as mine - I painted over the awful BusyBee green and yellow! Cheers and thanks again. Garry

What specification are the gas struts that you used? I'd like to mod my mill in this way. Cheers Garry

Here's one cross reference chart for carbon steel; http://www.m3tubecomponents.com/images/Cross%20Reference%20of%20Steel%20Standards.pdf I may have it wrong but I think Leadloy may be a trade name for a version of 12L14. Cheers Garry

Wayne; Your KBC is in all likelihood the same as the BusyBee CT039 9x20 lathe. They seem to be good at stocking parts. Try their Parts & Service Department; 905-738-5115 You'll probably end up talking to Ameen (ext 6506). BusyBee does not list parts on their website but they do stock service...

It's those four into one headers..... :big:
