You can get MT4 collets via J&L in the US, but with the current Sterling Rouble they will be very expensive, especially as J&L charge a surcharge on them as they are not standard UK stock.

You can also get them via ebay.de note DOT DE that’s the German version of the site

PS I gave up and made mine, but then, although my pockets are deep, my arms are very short

Tony Walshaw is related to the Model Engineer columnist “Tubal Cain”.  I saw him displaying a RR Merlin some years ago and had a chat with him about it as I worked on Spitfires in the 39-45 war.  The most amazing thing about the engine is that there are no castings used.  It was all machined from the solid, and is a working engine not a dummy as some people thought.  The next amazing thing is that he made not one but five of them.  He also made other engines – the other one he had was an Anzani engine a la Bleriot engine.  He was some gifted engineer, but then he was a professisonal and owned an engineering business.  Tom Oliver.

Can anyone lead me to the source for obtaining  re-prints of the following articles:

Les Chenery’s Gnome rotary aero engine presented by Mr Lowe in ME volume 189-number 4161 and

Les Chenery’s Anzani 3 clyinder “Y” type radial aero engine in ME number 4022 dated 2-5 August 1996

 

Any help that anyone can provide as to stearing me in the right direction would be greatfully appreciated

I remember when my Dad bought an outboard motor for his dinghy and it wouldn’t run properly.   So, he took it to work and clamped it to the side of a water bath , and adjusted the components.   When it eventually started properly, it swamped the workshop!   It was a British Anzani, this would have been about 1968.

 

Regards

Geoff

I know I’m about to be castigated for doing it, but we were so heartbroken at the loss of such an endearing family member, Zan was given full burial at the local depot WITHOUT having the indignity of his entrails being ripped out after the cause of the non communication lines were found. Bloody printed tracks/wireing, and before any say “conductive silver inks” I used to earn a living in the electronics sector.

 

   Dead is Dead, trust me I’m a Yorkshireman.

 

  Regards  Ian.

 

  Sorry guys for the highjack, put it down to the mourning process.
