Rob, I am impressed with the mallet amd hammer. Well done. I have rung the office and booked my place on the course. Have the machine migh...

Rob, I think I am one step further on than you. I have just purchased an English wheel from Justin Baker www.justinbaker.co.uk I purchased the Raptor 2000 in kit form. After a lot of thought decided at £299 I would go ahead and if all fails can always cut my losses on ebay. Hopfully you can see my e...

I have a copy of the Peacock converstion plans. I can scan the relevant sheet and email you. This will come out a bit dark as the original is also dark but will be readable and have the information you require. If interested please pm me with your email address. I am assuming this will not upset any...

Rob, Playing devils advocate here. Lets's suppose you have set up a company rebuilding permit engines.

I have a Leburg sytem which I purchased at the end of last year for my Luton Minor rebuild. Probably one of the last sytems sold by Dave. So far this has not flown so can not speak from actual flying experiance but I do have a full set of instructions that I have scanned for my records that I could ...

I am rebuilding a Luton Minor. The tail wheel leaf spring as was fitted is best described as less than fit for purpose. The drawings are a bit vague on material spec as they just call for spring steel. I have made a new part using material from an old land rover leaf spring but as I am unsure of the...

I have been watching this subject with interest, as I am about to strip and rebuild the VW engine of my Luton Minor re-build project. I am thinking of swapping the Lucas mags for electronic ignition. My main thought was to improving starting as I have been told my example could on occasions be a bit...

Not sure if this helps but for many years I have been using "Saftek" to re line the brake shoes of vintage motorcycles. They offer a range of materials. I send the old shoes by post with a cheque. They strip off the old linning and then thoroughly clean the shoes, then new linings are bonded and bak...

I have spoken to Chris regarding the "104". This refers to the drawing number. He has told me that he has about 56 different designs and all have there own unique drawing. Obviously if you require more details on this you have to speak to Chris direct.

I am in regular contact with Chris as he is the inspector for my Luton Minor rebuild project. I do not think Chris is to regular on the internet so probably has not seen this post. I will ask him about the "104" somtime in the next couple of days and reply with Answer.
