Have sent you a PM to take this off the public forum.

Strange because I'm currently in Genoa! Having been a resident here on and off for some years. What part are you in? I’m central, a short walk from the old town.

This is a little strange! Where exactly in the world are you? Your profile says Genoa Italy… that would be an unusual coincidence.

Unfortunately not, if Ron is unwilling or unable to provide them then I can’t make a copy. I believe he had some computer issues, that may be the reason. It might be possible to come to an agreement with him to allow someone else to do the distribution?

If it’s not, I believe that Ron is still selling digital copies.

I assume it would then be a “standard” odd number radial. So far as I know all radial engines were odd numbers of cylinders. Although I’m sure there must be at least one even one somewhere!

Hi all, Thought this was interesting. I was under the impression that radial engines always had an odd number of cylinders. Was visiting a museum this afternoon and they had a 6 cylinder anzani. Sorry for the quality of the picture. If there is some real interest I can go back and get some...

Give it a go and let us know what happens. Maybe it will become the new standard.

Thick layers of paint prevent visual inspection. Corrosion can be underneath and not seen. I have had either a clear coat, thin layer of what is probably red lead or nothing in air receivers.

Hi, Sure, the 2 main issues I have encountered are crevice corrosion and inter granular corrosion. Details of both can be found online. Apparently they are relatively rare….. although I have come across them multiple times. My favourite ones were 2 year old pipe work that could be removed by...

Pressure vessels are made out of plain steel for good reasons. Predictable failure is one of them. I’m not aware of any SS air receivers but for sure someone makes them. The problem with SS is it can corrode badly and unpredictably in certain circumstances. Not something I would trust.

Thanks allot, received in perfect condition. Very happy.

Hi, Best guess on the all up weight?

Hi, I would like a set please. Will send PayPal and address later today. Thanks.

That is a wonderful gift to the community. Thank you!

Of the 2 floors I have done. One was in a high end industrial syntactic epoxy, this was a hassle to apply and highly toxic. Marked easy and all around a failure! The second was done in a basic water borne 2 part epoxy from the same company as the first. So far it has been very good. Yes it will...

I believe the Seal is still available from Hemingway in the uk. Should give you an idea of price.

Hi Phil, I’m not familiar with allot of the casting listed but for those who are photos would help greatly in confirming what they are, are the complete and giving an accurate price.

Hi, My last big shipment I did through DHL. Went well but for sure not the cheapest. Be aware that the packing materials need to be certified. Probably the only real way to get it correct is to have a professional company do it. Australia can be very demanding on things like this.

Maybe, but machinery is not so cheap and available as in the US. It could well be worth doing. I ended up buying a machine from South Africa and shipping it to New Zealand as it was the cheapest way….. even with $$$ for shipping.
