out of interest rick , how near is the enterprise branch to you ?

That looks like an antique, years since i've worked on an old conventional lathe (brings back memories).
All cnc in our place now, what kind of tooling do you use Rick, i may be able to make some dissapear mysteriously if you know what i mean.:augie

Thanks for the offer but I have more tools than I can ever use, my father worked in the trade so left me well stocked, it is a Myson super 7, a lot smaller than one I had a few years ago, ( I could do brake disks on that as it had the first 6 inches of bed removable) but did not use it enough to keep it, but you do not want to know any more about me, your eyes will water, Rick

No problem you have a week plus to sort it. we are here whatever, its what we do Mag & I,, Re Paul and the Garage (would not call them a garage) no joy as I expected they just opt out, probably been doing it for years, do not ever go back there, I knew within 5 mins of arrival what they were, when the fitter came out and started Sally, the moment she fired he floored it to make her rattle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was enough for me to disregard anything they said or implied. make sure any good reports on the site are removed.

[solarman216]

Speak to Paul on both counts

 

[briggie]

[briggie]

was it the engine plate thingie about to give way ?

 

[solarman216]

I suppose one way to look at it is that you got a good gear box for whatever it cost, the fact that they cocked up the fitting of it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:nenau:nenau:nenau:nenau:nenau:nenau:nenau:nenau

Simple solution, as the club now has 1999 members that adds up to a lot of bad reviews.
What is the name of the garage and what site did you recommend them on, we can soon destroy any reputation they may have good or bad.:thumbs

No probs Rick, just thought i'd offer as a way of repaying the kindness you've shown to Pete.:bow

Good idea :thumb2 trusted traders list my arse :lol

Paul, could you publish their details please on this thread for our reference :thumb2

The oil smell would have been from the spigot wearing heavily on the spigot support on the flywheel as the plate broke up, (it got red hot if you look at the pics) this spigot and support are only designed to align the fluid flywheel during assembly after the bolts are in and tightened they are redundant, but when the plate started to break up these two parts started to move against each other, not good, heat, residues of oil/grease =smell, what Mag & I do well, long story but lets just say we fostered special needs kids for 24 years, packed it up as the system stinks and we were not deemed suitable as we "at that time" were not "black" we were fostering a black 2 year old, got to stop there, sorry gets too heavy
