For Sale: Carrier - cast parts round 3

Hi

Doug, yes that's the part! Still looking for a couple of people to have enough interest but we're getting there for discharger mount and lower thumb screws, long way off the upper screws.

Cheers

are the upper screws spun on a lathe or cast ?

Ben,

Hard to say if an original is turned or cast as I don't have one to hand. However a turned one will look very sharp and the one I have to copy has a nice worn cast look, don't think they'd be much in the price.

No Botha matey I had one but lent it to Martyn to copy, he made some fantastic copies on a lathe. I must get mine back come to think about it. Do you need anything else to pattern I am coming down country next Friday..... Drop me an email mate.

The original round nuts for the upper engine covers were turned and knurled from round stock on a lathe. Very easy to duplicate and are virtually impossible to tell from the original, except the fact that they look new and have no pitting or wear.

Yes, the upper ones do seem to be machined. As they're not cast parts I'll officially hand that project over to someone else:-)
