Hi,
As can be seen in the last photograph of the previous post a start had been made on fitting the reversing valve. Which when found looked like this. (P.082).
It had been taken apart and cleaned at the beginning of this project. (P.083).
To be able to fit the reversing valve to the engine base plate a shoulder was turned on the valve body which was hard soldered into a brass plate bored to accommodate it. (P.084).
The operating arm of the valve was shortened and two stops were fitted in the valve body. (P.085).
Some commercially made spacers were used to attach the valve to the engine base plate. (P.086).
An extension operating spindle was fitted to the valve. (P.087).
A photograph of the valve now with a hand wheel attached, fitted to the engine base plate. (P.088).
To improve the appearance of the reversing valve spindle, a cover was made. (P.089).
The completed valve fitted in place on the engine base plate. (P.090).
To be continued……
