Rebuilt a no name DVXH4A yesterday as it seems the 54 siamese should have the G100 version of this as compared to the G86 in the 1600.
I dont know what version this is.
Has anyone else seen this dizzy, perhaps with a rivited plate instead of the usual stamping?

I have spotted a cap on eBay lately for that dizzy, I'll see if I can find it again and post the link up.

Where is a list of all the distributor model's to be found?
.

Hi Keith , Give Kev Baker a call but make sure you have all the numbers ready because he will ask you , he's a numbers man. he will tell you the correct distributor for the royal. my 1595cc 80 has a dist with a rivited plate there should be a date stamp on the plate or dist body which will be up to a couple of months before the L/R was built .

I forgot to give you Kev's number (07) 54944221 Wayne

Thanks Wayne. I have two "no name " ones. The other is on the Tickford.

Just found this. Nothing to do with the 86 except similar lines.
Its one of the Rolls Royce 81" Review vehicles.
May be of interest.

Hi Keith , Got a email from Anthony yesterday , he said he doese have the P4 hubcaps in Newcastle . He is going to South Africa as a visiting professor at Rodes Uni for 5 weeks so i will contact him again when he gets back. he should be able to get his son to post them up . Did A silly thing the other day was cuting a SHS pipe with cuting disc in a 4 1/2" grinder & it jamed , kicked back out & bit the back of my left hand. cut down to the bone :( so out of action for a few days. Stiches coming out Wednesday. Will be branded for life . So watch those grinders . Wayne

You have to be careful all right. I love my big 10" Makita. Had it since 1975 but I have been told they are banned from job sites now.
I guess all of us have had luck escapes.

(Currently working on my skidsteer)

Waiting on parts for the skidsteer so decided to start on the step. After examining lots of photos I think I have it figured out.

Yes all garger grinders have to have a dead man switch so the triger can not be locked onbut 4" , 4 1/2" &5" don't & i think they are more dangerous because you tend to hang on to them with one handso when they kick they tend to bite the opporator & we never use them with the side handle because it gets in the way. The step is looking good & I cant beleave the job you did onthe back door. What a clever person you are . :BigThumb: Wayne

Needed to make a couple of spacers to silver braze on as a pivot.
One of the wifes old stainless 6.5mm barrels came in handy. They are worn out after 3000 rds but good hollow bar material.

We used to have a guy inthe Rover club making IOE rocker shafts out of old barrels I beleave they worked realy well Wayne
