Ben, i have an original set of the thumb screws in a bag (somewhere) they have all the nice cast details and i think "Ford" as well ( but dont quote me on that until i look) anyway if you want to copy them for the boys not a problem.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Doing the lower and upper bolts isn't a problem but I suspect the price may be. There is a minimum charge for casting parts so I think that they could easily cost £5 each. The other issue is that the top one needs to be tapped, this is easy you can all drill out a hole and run a tap down the centre. The bottom screw will need to have a thread cut too but using a die, the threaded section will need to be turned down to allow the die to run down it's length. This will need to be done on a lathe yourself or it involves me getting them done which will add to the cost. How many would want one if the cost stared pushing £10 each!! I'll post a new thread over the weekend about two new parts that are ready to be done. Sorry to put a downer on the bolts but I can't see a cheap way of getting them done but I will ask at the foundry next week. Thanks Ben

If there is enough interest, I could get a qoute from a foundry here in London for the thumbscrews on the lower engine panels for the folks here in Canada. Could save a little on postage. I would need 6 to complete my machine.
Not wanting to steal your thunder Ben, but we could have a comparative quote for the screws, and perhaps send to the UK. Perry

Perry, I would be interested in the 8 lower cover thumb screws. Ben, could you confirm the price for the casting minus machining?
