Back on the farm boy after a short break as I have been doing a write-up for the Model Engineers Workshop magazine and yet more work in the garden.

The flywheels needed a taper putting in the crankshaft hole and also a tapered fixing made to match. Going by the plans, the opening in the flywheel just cut into the three screw holes, which surprised me.

I mounted the flywheels on the faceplate and dialled them in before setting the angle and turning these. Both flywheels were done before turning the matching locking fixings. This meant that the cross slide was already set and both tapers matched.
Still need to drill the fixing holes and also two threaded holes to use if they need extracting from the flywheel in the future as well as a slot.
