GEARBOX PROGRESS

Just in from the workshop where have set up the endfloat on the output shaft and finally lapped the taper on after making a new key. Took great care to ensure the key was a good fit but not 'bottoming out' on the shaft or output boss. The amount of lap and therefore the distance the boss slides up the taper controlls the endfloat. It's all a bit tedious.
Having eaten venison for nearly a week had the final stew tonight.
Mr Plod called last evening and they are giving me a fixed penalty notice which costs £80 and I did give him the clamp back(in two bits). Can't really be bothered to argue. If ever you are involved in the removal of a clamp DON'T TAKE IT AWAY!
Must make a list of nuts and blots to buy from Arun Fasteners tomorrow.
