Nice clear pictures Ian, you know earlier today while going over the drawings I finally understood how all the bits for the brakes work. Beforehand I had just been trusting that all was ok and got on with it, so many bits to do and always something I need such as today's items of 1/16 and 3/64 split pins. No big deal, I know where to get them but it's a never ending list.... Pete

A brief update on this project, here's a photo of some of the bits and pieces that go to make up the springs and compensating gear made about a year and a half ago. Ian Attachments:

Good to see progress Ian. BTW is that an attic workroom? I can see a sloping wall, or is it a ceiling! JB

Yes John, this is the winter workshop! Still do the messy stuff outside though, but I have a wee Unimat lathe up there with a milling attachment which is very handy now and again.
