Hi Andy
Sent for the 6 drive wheels,comes with axles and screws (£67)--Rob
-
Have had to send for Slaters wheels, the ones from Hachette just don't conform;- slack on the axles and wobbles, screws for the axles- soft ---Rob.

There are a few pitfalls forth-coming, for all those of us that de-skirted (cut away)
you will have to source valves ,radius rods and conjugated rods. also.(.I sourced mine from Lawrie Griffin)
the brass screw for the centre drive wheels replace with a 10ba screw then you'll have to buy or make "top hat" bearings to fit onto these, the list goes on,
But just persevere and you'll get there,it's a challenge for me at the moment so I have started at screws (10ba) and now making the "top - hats,
If there are any more " hic-cups" feel free to let us all know.--(phew)---Rob

Things have gone quiet again?

Hatchet Mallard,
Anybody got any further forward as regarding missing valve gear and conjugated links, at a dead stop at the moment.
-
What is the cost? and what about cylinder valves?--Rob
-
Merry Christmas to you all---Rob

Hatchette have really let themselves down on this one.
No valve gear-unsecured crank-pin if you have to glue this at the proper degrees, how are you supposed to strip it down for chassis painting?
At the price of this project it's a "very big let down" -Just because of the full skirt-(out of sight-out of mind.)-Grrrrrrrrr!!----Rob.

Thanks for that JeffP,----my next question-----How can the return crank be set @ 15 degrees if there is no thread on the end of the crankpin it will flop about and fall off, or am
I overlooking something???

JeffP,
Valves for the cylinders-- magazine has the combination lever hanging on a wire, OK if you have fully skirted, Ive cut mine away.
-
Had e-mail from Billy (Premier Components)--he doesn't do the valves for the A4- question--where to now?
-
Wee bit of info required here:- I am into part 119, and as I have done away with the full skirting,will there be any part forth-coming for "valve gear" as this is going to look a bit(big bit) odd??????-----Rob
-
Everybody on holiday?-very quiet.
-
-
As regarding cylinder gaps, I don't think there is anything forth-coming,I therefore grabbed the preverbial "Bull" and fettled mine out.
remember,this won't be seen on a "Full Skirt"-----Photo's to follow.-----Rob

Hi John
According to some sources, "Brunswick Green" was never a colour, just an interpretation of green from 1948 onwards.
I think I'll stick with Doncaster Green. Thanks for reply.--ROB

I have a queerie,
What is the colour of green for the Union of South Africa?-Ihave read it was Brunswick green,but this seems darker than what it runs today
(The mind boggles!!)---ROB
