Well PD's...antopia said...  'I do understand what you have said ....I am not an engineer of any sort'

 :nono Steven....you may not have a 'degree' from a school of learning......[neither do I] .. :whistle .....however the term 'degree' is only that ....

Very few professional engineers could produce the engine & boiler components that you as a true engineering artisan have made  :hammer

Our good colleague....John Moore [bogstandard] does not hold a 'degree'....but who would not consider him as a brillant engineering artisan

Get my drift?..........Derek :beer

PS...     "it all came from the junk box" ...could the be a few smallish 1/8" or 8BA hollow pointed grub screws ....kicking about in there?  :hehe

I have seen Johns work and hold the same respect although we have never met.
but we are of the same nature. :)

yes "raises engineering Titfer (hat) in respect of kind words"

PS...     "it all came from the junk box" ...could the be a few smallish 1/8" or 8BA hollow pointed grub screws ....kicking about in there?  :hehe

I find some 10 and 8 ba grub screws bolts it is
