AdamQ Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've been thinking of fitting some verniers and so was looking for some dial gauges - these here (I hope the link works) seem quite good value compared to the £15 to £20 I've seen mentioned on various threads. FWIW. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I bought mine from there. Piccies of them in use on Delbert's machine here They are fine. I miss having a rotating from face to mark the zero point - you get two little arrows that can be moved around the edge of the bezel instead. I made the brackets using Oily's template. ISTR I also ordered the digital vernier calipers from them - around £15? Cheaper than MM etc. Project Scope-Creep is live...

prs Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 These look to be the same ones I bought a couple of years back for exactly the same task. I got imperial and metric. You can screw of the tip and extend by using a bit of mig wire to reach the follower, have fun. Phil S7SVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamQ Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Myles, you've prompted a couple of questions (I'm afraid): 1. I think I read somewhere that Oily's template for the mounts is available on his site, but I can't seem to find it - is my recollection of what I read wrong? 2. You mention in the description (very handy BTW) on your site a cam-locking tool - is this a specific tool or is it just any old thing that will do the job (e.g. a couple of wooden wedges or something along those lines (shock, horror!))?

Myles Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Adam, I asked Oily to send me a copy of the template - I think he's happy enough for it to be freely available, but you'd better ask. It might be on his site, but I wouldn't know where. The camlocking tool is made by Draper - it is a specific item for the k-series (but they also do Vx versions etc., so get the right one). Here's a link to one supplier here I paid something piffling like £3 for mine from a local motorfactor and they can usually be found on e-bay as new buy-it-now items for around that figure. I *think* I once saw one in Halfords (my local one has a small Draper section - general tools such as hacksaws and so on). Can't say I recall seeing one recently. Project Scope-Creep is live...

oilyhands Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 By all means distribute the cam timing/bracket document freely, I just havent got round to loading it on my site. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 OK, thanks - I'll dig it out of my mailbox. ISTR it's quite large (1.7MB Word doc) - so I'll see if I can crunch it down to a size that won't trouble the bandwidth limit on my site. Project Scope-Creep is live...

Myles Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 OK, I've hosted it here The Word doc is too big for me to host easily - it has the potential to burn through my bandwidth and cost me a packet. I've turned the document into web pages instead. If anyone wants the original doc, I can mail it to you. Enjoy - and thanks Dave. Project Scope-Creep is live...

AdamQ Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Many thanks to Dave and Myles - all this help is gratefully received. If the car was a quick as you chaps are at getting things done, I wouldn't have been asking these questions in the first place ❗ Adam Edited by - AdamQ on 27 Jan 2006 19:49:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 There appears to be a minor link problem to page 2... Fixing it now... Fixed. Project Scope-Creep is live...

AdamQ Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Myles, Sorry to be a trouble-maker, but the links to the larger images appear to point to somewhere on your hard drive, e.g. file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Myles/LOCALS~1/Temp/FrontPageTempDir/wpe4.gif Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 My DTIs and brackets a la Oily are available for a donation to NtL. Post to anywhere in UK. I know they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Adam - thanks. Bleedin' Frontpage is pratting about again then. It does this sometimes when I tell it to thumbnail the images - the workaround is to save the page with the images full-size, then go back and thumbnail them. I'll sort it shortly...
