Hello every one

trying to get as much done, so once the cnc work is finished... I will have all i need

so thanks to Steve my friend with the skills, he built the afterburner

After seeing John picture, I think static test will be kept short, and only to check it lights..... think we are asking a lot of stainless.... so will only run at full afterburner... once moving

Hi John

The tin can.....   Steve real out did him self, with the stainless being 1.5mm.. his slip rollers did not like it, and the cones well, it all hand shaped .... think it best one we have made.... the new feul ring sits nice in its place.... looks perposeful ..... ready to do a job

The smoked..... homemade... but I think you knew that ? 6 hours to cook ribs, briscket 12...... but oh so worth it.... here's some ribs I did yesterday.... they still had 3 hours to go, half have gone in the freezer



Chatt soon

Hello every one, hope you are all well.... little bits coming together   who wants to guess what the little thing on side of the flame tube is for or does 

[finiteparts]

Looks like a nice floating ferrule for the igniter, to allow the thermal expansion of the liner without shear loading the igniter.

Seems like an odd placement though, as a general benefit of a floating ferrule is that you can control the leakage of "cold" air near the igniter tip, which could quench the ignition kernel and cause starting problems. But, it sits between two liner holes that may push "cold" air into the ignition region.

Hello every one.... a little update.... few issues.... but all coming together 

[andym]

Hello Every One 

I am sorry its been some time since I posted.

Its been a busy few weeks..... I brought a van, got real good deal on it, they helped me out letting me pay over a few weeks, if had a few issues, and no MOT. So yes I took a bit of a chance on it. But after some work, it passed its MOT 


Has bed , heater, lights and roof fan installed now.... electrics, both 12 and 240 volt and 2.5 kva generator on the way.... Its not plush..... but will keep us warm and dry at the track

On another note , work has started..... hoping to make rapid progress

Hi Andy

Cheers
John
