Hymn to the 1928 Model C

[Karol Burger]

Where are you with the oil tank caps, Karol?

closures are complete

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

They are wonderfull Karol!

Made a pair of T-bars today
Surprisingly (or maybe not.. ) the small one took me three times before I grasped that I first had to drill the T bar hole and then the threaded hole Haha, what fun I have with my woodworking approach

speaking of woodworking....and how about this contraption :
M16 bolt with a pukka Red Hunter valve spring holding the kickstart case down.
just enough movement to re-cut that small ridge after a sloppy welding repair.

Found another bit of scrap steel plate in my stash

[Karol Burger]

and I found something in my hiding place that could please you

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

Yes! thank you!
I have my new order list for you almost ready, waiting for the verdict on which piston to use

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

[fpassmore]

Thank you Vincent and a Happy New Year to you and all in their workshops.
Frank

[Steven.Carter]

Cheers Vincent, I certainly will

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

first question in the new year !
What is the function of the 'furrow' at the rear of the '28 timingcase?
It looks like making a oil mist tight seal rather complicated.
Anyone have a picture or image of the seal that should be there? (I suppose there should be one..)

[cmfalco]

I don't know what it's for either, but the top-down photograph of the magneto in my 1928 Model C shows there isn't much room there. The magneto fits find, but perhaps it was needed for clearance with a Magdyno(?).

As for a seal, I don't have one there and had no problem because there is (or should be) no oil in that chamber. However, I describe somewhere in my Britbike thread how I made an X-ring seal holder to replace the leather "seal" on the crankshaft that was supposed to keep oil from the timing case from leaking into that chamber.
