Can you tell / show how to fit the rubber knee pads back on please? 1950 B31 tele/rigid
@500dbd3426 күн бұрын
Hi, there are 2 metal plates that fit in the back of the knee pad, it is a bit tricky to fit them and they hold the rubber knee plates in shape. Try the screw first to make sure they fit and that it. Good luck

The domed bolt heads look so much better. Why do you need copper grease on the stainless bolts Brian?
@500dbd3429 күн бұрын
Dave, Using Copper Grease or any anti-seize helps prevent galling. I got this tip from the owner of Lightning Spares in Manchester years ago after returning some new nuts and bolts he supplied that had completly seized, (rear wheel adjusters actually). Thanks for the comment, cheers B

No picture of the rebuilt c12. Had one in 1973.when i was 17 😊 Resprayed it, new rings, was difficult getting parts then Happy hamrax, bike cost me £15. Now they are £2,800 quid. Clutch plates were a problem but can get decent ones today. Got A10 engine and box to rebuild. Chassis is rolling. New forks wheels, s/a bushes, needs triumph 4 spring clutch instead of the horrid six spring one.

@Paul-FrancisB4 ай бұрын
Hi Brian, the light is a good solution to your problem. A slightly more complicated alternative would be use a "delay off" relay in located the new wall mounted panel, you have plenty of room. That can break the stop circuit if you forget to turn it off, the timer could be triggered from the 110V lathe control circuit if you want to be fancy and have it run on a fixed time after the lathe has been in use, a bit like a bathroom fan speaking of which the fan is definitely a good idea I put a cooling fan into my rotary converter control box to get rid of any heat from the auto transformer Hope you are enjoying the Harrison, it is a luxury having a bit more room to swing than the Myford Kind regards Paul
@500dbd344 ай бұрын
Hi Paul, Thanks for the brilliant comment, it’s great that people like you and others can take the time to share their experience and knowledge, this is what KZbin is all about. I get what you’re saying with the off timer thing, I use something similar to stop my compressor coming on at night and pissing off my neighbours. I’ve spent enough time on this so will probably stay with the light for the moment but thanks again for the comment. Cheers Brian

Hi Brian, Looks a great machine, I also moved from a Super 7 to a M300 last year, although I had to build my own phase converter, so the jockey motor is separate from the box (behind the lathe) on antivibration mounts which helps a lot with the noise. I found adding a 12 by 26mm needle thrust bearing under the tool post nut gave me much more positive clamping action without feeling like I'm flogging it up. I did have to pull the gearbox of the front to clean the varnish out as the gear change was sticky, and flushing alone wasn't enough. If you ever have to get into things line that check out Sam Fielder's channel, he pulled his M300 completely apart. The Myford hasn't left yet, but I'm under orders ........... 😁
@500dbd345 ай бұрын
Hi, great comment. I have watched most of Sam Fielder’s stuff, me makes me laugh and is a but wakky but his channel is brilliant. Ive solved the problem of the noise by putting the phase converter in the shed behind the garage. I have made a short video of the move and will be posing it very soon. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks again, cheers Brian

Hi Brian, new to me , my 54 b33 seems to have an odd dry sort of cyclic vibration that I can feel through the pegs , I found the primary chain really tight , so I have reset that , and then adjusted the rear chain , added oil to primary and topped up box , but it is still there , have you come across anything similar ? , I was wondering about the clutch drum bearing ? . Any input greatly appreciated. Cheers .
