Today I acquired...........

[HughF]

This had been lingering on FB Marketplace for months. It popped up again on my feed yesterday, a give away price. If I hadn't bought it then I fear it was destined for the scrapyard.

Complete and completely original but missing one of the three wingnuts from the belt guard

It was interesting getting it out of the car and manoeuvreing it through my tiny flat alone.

Now I need to finish my rotary converter build

Very nice, - exactly the same as mine, except yours is 3 phase.

I’m not telling you what it cost me in realistic terms as I’ll get lynched but fair to say I couldn’t have bought the motor for it in Cash, much less the whole machine

Right, you're banned from posting for at least 3 weeks!

Two travelling steadies. I'll bet there's going to be a few people after that

They'll be forming an orderly queue......

But you started it....

 

[Brad93]

Never mind those...

@Keith 66 @Brad93 look what’s on the floor...

No f’ing way!

A fixed steady!!!!!!!!

Also the boring table. Is that the type that screws on to the cross slide?

 

[Brad93]

I see you’ve also got one of the turning between centres dog faceplates!

It is mate, you wind the cross slide off and mount that in it’s place. And yep, there’s a drive plate for turning between centres. The fixed steady isn’t off one of these unfortunately, it was sold to me as a Harrison one but doesn’t fit the bed on this. I’ll adjust it to suit though. It is Harrison grey so perhaps off an older machine.

This has been on Trademe for a while, not sure if its what you guys are looking for?

 

[Brad93]

That boring table is a seriously rare bit of kit.

Someone really splashed out on that lathe many years ago.

It’s a late model 11”, but they’ve upgraded to the three lever norton screwcutting box like the Harrison 140 has plus all the extras. Mental.

It’s an ex school machine, hasn’t done much work at all really. And yep, it’s been incredibly well specced

Pair of 6' Record 'Made in England' t bar sash clamps. Paid £60 for the pair which some folk may consider expensive but that's cheap for NI. previously I've paid £40 for one 38" flat bar clamp!

A 10 bar plastic gauge & a 7 bar brass gauge plus a load of fittings.

Those heavy duty Record sash cramps are great

A cosworth f1 piston. Don't know what exactly from, but within the last 5 or so years

 

[Melvyn Best]

When were Cosworth engines last used in F1? Don’t think they’ve been used in the hybrid era, 2014 ish?

Records I’ve found go up to 2014, but apparently they didn’t supply for the 2014 season, so 2013 at the latest unless there’s another oracle?

Last outing was at Marussia in 2013, but they’re set to make a comeback in the 2021 season, potentially with Red Bull although nothing has been agreed and it would mean changes to F1 engine rules apparently.
