Compressed Vermiculite boards will take very high temperatures (they are used to line wood-burning stove fireboxes). Not sure how thermally resistive they are though.

I believe you can (it can read PDF files) but obviously it takes a lot of work to scan them in.
I don't think you're allowed to print out eBooks that you've bought from Amazon.
Yes, I was thinking of a disc with two parallel flattened sides. You could weld a bit of wire to the middle so that you can poke it through then fiddle it into position.
You could cut a bit of thick plate to the right size and shape so that it's possible to push it through the race and then turn it around so that it bridges the tube with the ends of the plate resting against the back of the race. Then use a drift from the other end of the axle, pushing against...
I recently bought a 140 amp Cytringan for £75. It needed a new mains cable, an earth clamp and a bit of a clean with a solvent-soaked rag. I've had the lid off and the oil looks fine. I had been considering getting a buzz box for about £100 instead but suspect I would have been disappointed with...
The cast iron Rayburn Royal back boiler doesn't contain any baffles. I once spent many hours chipping limescale out of one through the access panel in the back.
The simple answer is 4 inches (NOT 100mm!) however there are other considerations such as the outer diameter, offset, and hub diameter that mean not all 4" PCD wheels are suitable.
You would be better off asking questions like this on http://www.mmoc.org.uk/ or http://www.morrisowners.co.uk/
If the machine is three phase only and you don't have a three phase supply, then you'll need to either get three phase installed (which will probably work out very expensive indeed) or buy/make a single to three phase converter. For a high-power machine which doesn't need variable frequency like...
Make sure the wire is cut cleanly and is totally straight for an inch or so from the end, otherwise it's much more likely to get stuck. I prefer to feed it in by hand, because then you can feel when it gets stuck and jiggle it about until it gets past whatever it's stuck on instead of forcing it...
The first time the gas bottle ran out on me in the middle of a weld I didn't understand what had happened and carried on for a couple of inches even though it was fizzing and splattering everywhere. The bead was full of tiny gas bubbles.
My previous Moggy had the later (rectangular) type of heater and I didn't find it all that wonderful, even after flushing the system several times. It may have been knackered though. My 1969 Series 2A Land Rover had the small flat recirculating type of heater and it seemed to put more heat out...
I've made a bit of progress on the heater I'm building for my Morris Minor, but hit a snag too. I had some difficulty getting hold of a sheet of new steel, so I thought I'd use a set of scrap 1mm steel shelves that were fly-tipped near my office instead. In hindsight this was a mistake.
