Where's my coffee,,,did I leave it over there??
I need some sort of braser,,
Got it all apart,,the required part,,did not remove the filler neck
It was a white knuckle removal the whole way,,partly my attitude as
I have peened over beat up items,,,I know the value of NOt working too fast and needing a oxy-torch and a plainer-mill,,,
Do you guys realize how many lill screws hold that thing together,,
When Messrs Stanley were corresponding w/France,,they must have visited w/
the Bugatti works and thouroughly discussed the leading principle of MANY
mmany 10mm FLAT HEAD machine screws closely spaced to avoid distortion
and off season unemployment,,! The fine[40 pitch] [or thereabouts] thread
will aid all this,,along with tight fitting self locking lock washers,,!
AAh haa,,,
The well fitted vulomoid gasket did well but allowd JUST enough steam to
get to the machine screws to corrode the machine screws tight in the
Alumminum top tank,,by galvanic corrosion,,,which helped in a few cases to hold the screw from
turning,,,Turning is a problem as the only way to hold em is with a not
too wide screwdriver slot,,not too deep either,,and NOTHING on top to get
a hold on,,,
There are two iron plates,or rather strips that distribute the forces of
the nuts evenly,,,so it says here in fine print,,
I will?? see if I can figure how to post pics,,I you will e/m or p/m
Ill see if I can attach em for a round trip,,
A desparate emergency has just occurred,,a,fresh bag of the finest
chocolate/chip cookies,,
They are the best ever,,,AND do NOT require aging under the cellar floor
for a year,,,I think he said,,,
I'LL get a replacement can of Mystery oil tomorrow
