Hi Patrick Thanks for that. I have been collecting cam timing numbers for my next project. There is such a huge variation in the numbers, both among the models and the full size engines. But how do I decide? :confused: This engine will earn its keep in a plane, not just for occasional...

Thanks for the update, interesting project. You mentioned that the timing events follow standard Lister cam timing. Would you mind posting the valve timing numbers? Do diesels have different valve timing requirements to petrol engines? Looking forward to seeing the run video. Thanks and...

Now that's a quality machine. The oil stains will come out with WD40 or kero and she'll look like a new one. Nice...

Hi Patrick Congratulations on No.11, that's a team! Family days are great when all the cousins get together. The water jet came in handy again I see. My son-in-law also programmes a water jet cutter not far from here... Did you turn the flywheel on the Hercus? In what issue of Model...

Hi Patrick, I'd be interested to see your Lister progress for sure. You could post a link to the other site in the mean time (or pm me)... I'd like to see it. Another Aussie with 10 grandkids from 3 daughters, cool lol. Regards, RossG radial1951 _____________

No problem Chris I sent the SolidWorks eDrawings link by PM to Graham, here it is for other Quadricyclists: http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/ed/solidworks-viewer.htm Just download the free viewer, it should work. Can you simply save the SW drawings as DXF at the time of drawing? Or is it...

Hi Chris and Graham Chris, I downloaded all of your Quadricycle SolidWorks drawings (73 files at the time) and can view them at any time using SolidWorks eDrawings, which is a free download. The wheel hub drg file is P-0008_hub.slddrw the main part of the frame is P-0102.slddrw "Frame...

GUS! Oh no, someone changed your avatar! Hang on, how do we know it's really you? Could be a spy! Is that one of those pump-up plastic fish? Ha, you've been caught cheatin' again... Yeah I know, we should see the one that got away...:rolleyes: Regards, RossG radial1951 _____________

Hey Gus, Below is a drawing showing the tooth proportions for Module System metric gears. (DP system inch gears have a different depth ie 2.157/DP) The whole depth of tooth is 2.25 x m (The 0.25m is the extra depth at the bottom of the tooth space to give clearance for the teeth of the...

What a coincidence, last week I was 2 streets East of there in Shanghai St with a mate. We found a nice little engineering tool shop, a pleasant surprise for that area. My mate bought a couple of ER collets he needed to complete his set. What great yarns you can tell about your working life...

Gus, That's great work, I like your style. KISS and get the job done! Could you try posting the pic of your DH gear cutting set up again? That would be interesting. Do you remember where in HK you bought the 3-jaw chuck and rough cost? One like that might be handy if it's reasonably...

Hi Mike The Spanish Replica Quad guys do a Mini Quad. I have no idea how good it is or the scale. Have look here: quadricycle1896.com. Regards, RossG radial1951 _______________

G'day Dave Thanks for the link. This all adds to the story. I'm planning to go to Melbourne in a few months and hope to get a look at it. I noticed a visitor's comment on the Museum site about another replica in Auckland, N.Z. Udo's reference to an Aussie Quad started my local search which...

Hi Chris I was snooping around Google and found this nice Quadricycle in Australia. I am trying to track the owner down, and if he's not too far away (wishful thinking), it would be great to get a look and have a chat about it. I have spoken to George DeAngelis and emailed him to hopefully...

Thanks Chuck. I will call George and hopefully be able to organise it. It seems the German team also used the George Deangelis drawings from 1963. The excitement is building...! Regards, RossG radial1951 _____________

Hi Chuck Thanks for that. Do I take it the plans are in PDF format for downloading? That would be a lot simpler than posting a heap of drawings to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Regards, RossG radial1951 _____________

Hi Chuck Did you get your plans from George DeAngelis recently? If so, any problem contacting him? I believe he is getting on in years. Yes this build is looking very interesting... Regards, RossG. radial1951 _______________

Well then Bob, I had better say g'day from Richmond, NW of Sydney, although I happen to be in Adelaide for a week visiting family. Cool and raining here. This is a great forum, quite a few Aussies (for the rest of you guys, except Kiwis of course, it sounds like Ozzies LoL). Interesting to...

Wow, is certainly right. I've been lurking here since the early days, just watching and trying not to get too enthused. But it is starting to get the better of me after seeing the photos of the replica above, watching videos on YouTube etc. I am certain yours won't be the only Quadricycle...

Sheesh, Rod, what the hell happened? Am I missing a post here? What caused it to fall over? Please be very careful how you go about lifting it. About 7-8yrs ago, there was a fatality in Sydney when a chap was installing a similar type of lathe in his garage and it toppled over. As you are...
