ian201 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hi Dan, that is great work well done, can't wait to see the finished part on the chassis. It's a work of art and looks amazing with the name plate. Regards ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Good to see you have some chassis numbers. Can you relate this to a year of manufacture? The location of these numbers at the back of the chassis is interesting. Perhaps its time to start a new thread listing the location of chassis numbers on early chassis. It could become a good data base to assist in identifying the lesser known makes. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN THE STEAM Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 GOOD MORNING hi Doug i dont realy have anything on chassis numbers it only after speaking to this chap that i managed to find it he also said the same number should be on the front axle but since thats gone i cant confirm the two numbers and it is the only number on it that seems the most likly so im hoping some one will know a bit more than i do on the matter it took a wile to read i had to get a scriber to get the new ond old paint and dirt out well im hoping its the chassis number.

nz2 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Did he say where on the front axle the number was stamped? I will set up a new thread covering the locationof chassis numbers. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN THE STEAM Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi Doug he said in the middle front of the front axle behind the rear spring hanger left side and if you have a body then also on a brass plate on the front of the firewall and on military halleys also painted on the side of the cab(both sides ) i cant comfirm my number with the front axle as i dont have one but its where he said it would be on a G type chassis not sure about other types but i will ask. Iv now finished the front axle pattern the top of the kingpin tube pattern and the leafspring clamp pattern and now started the silencer ends pattern i have no plan with what i do just make any part that comes to mind it all goes into the same end product and it saves me making it later so tomarrow will go to foundry sorry no pics the camara went flat so wont see the parts for a few weeks. Also the hand brake is fully working and now conected to the rest of the brake gear i was missing three fork ends so machined them out of two and a half inch round bar thay took two and a half hours each but did it and conected them up to the rest and also made the locking nuts for all the brake rods the threed is 5/8 BSP does anyone else have fine threads on brakegear and again no pic as camara flat when charged will take some pics.

DAN THE STEAM Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Heres a pic of the kingpin tube with the casting on top that i have just made the pattern for the tube bellow will be machined from solid bar and is about three inches die with a flang underneath of half inch so three and a half inch with a two and a quarter ind inside die then a bronze bush top and bottom to an inside die of one and three quarter inch die if any of this makes any sence. :nut: DAN AND JEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenHawkins Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Dan, My Dennis is earlier than the subsidy model. It has a number of BSP threads in places you would not expect (for example the ends of the half shafts). I think BSF was introduced in 1908 so became fairly common in machines designed after this date. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN THE STEAM Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks for that so mine isnt wronge then phew iv droped off all the patterns to the foundry iv decided to have the front axle cast in S G iron and the have it anealed as it is alot more easer to machine and is also not as bad on the pocket as steel (not being skingy just dont have it to start with) . i have nearly finished the fire wall that i started at six o clock well the first stage of it any way there is exstentions off the factory fit to exstend it will post pics when i get camara.

David Herbert Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Te He indeed ! Its realy nice to see some more photos. Clever way to stop it jumping out of gear, presumably there are detents in the gearbox and some system to stop two gears engaging at the same time as well as the sprung bits that you have just made. Any news of the front axle ? Best wishes to you both, David :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian201 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi Dan, Halley is looking great, good to see an update. What's the news on the front axle ?.
