Looks like it is well on the mend, the compensation beams have gone in neatly.

Mikkel, Ithought the ones at Barry were Better. Yes it is one of those (as a builder I havevseen it all too often) where an error is compounded by another in the vain attemp to hide the first. I think last time I had it on the bench I had my rose tinted glasses instead of my reading ones. I thought I could just get away with cosmetics. But at least this time I hope it will be sitting on sound foundations. Next problem is the coupling rods, they have been made solid as one has a broken joint. Where would we be without any challenges:-S

Matthew, Thank you. Iwas was pleased with them too, I wanted them to beas descrete as possible. They just need tweking on the front horns as they catch a little. But that is easy to do. Attaching the cylinders won't be so easy, that willcome soon thought.

Looking like a good recovery there Peter.

When you said "after soldering two bits of nickel silver sheet together" I was wondering whether they would be strong enough but it looks like your idea of sheet is a bit more substantial than mine - I was thinking in the region of 0.25mm or so.

I am struggling to be clear from the photos but it looks like you have cut/filed slot in the tops of the horn guides to allow the beam to sit on the hornblock?

I will have a look at doing someting similar for my next build after the 06. and possibly the A3 if I have to to get it right.

Hi Rob

Yes I filed the 3/4 of the top and aboout 1/4 to 1/3 of the side away. I have also used the bearing with the longest bit to the outside. This was to give the beam a larger bit to rest on, and also takes up a lot side play on the drivers. The beam is from a piece of 0.8mm.

I just hope it will work OK with the most loading on the leading wheel.

Peter
