Ended up being 2.2 mm thick. Or 0.086 inches thick
 


Started again on the eccentric straps after a brief spell due to tendons in the wrist made any work virtually impossible. A couple of cortisone injections and the pain vanished.
 
An idea from my experience. Make the straps first, and then turn the eccentric disks to fit while on the lathe. I had to "tickle" the slot depth a bit until the strap turned smoothly around. I also marked each strap to its eccentric.

After the eccentric is parted off it's a bit difficult to adjust.

Glad the pain is fixed. Nothing worse than machining in pain.
 
Thanks for the tip Kvom. I shall do that on the next two eccentrics.
 
Made a start on the expansion links today.


Ready for a bit of contour work and riveting a stud in the centre hole.
