Contact Dominic Chinea, he is planning to build an aero engined car and I think one of the parts missing was the magneto. https://dominicchinea.com/ Just a thought!

On the subject of cement…. I understand a small inclusion of Prompt cement https://masonsmortar.co.uk/shop/natural-cement/prompt-natural-cement/# Gives an authentic colour and a ‘false’ set to assist at this time of the year. I think you need citric acid to adjust the setting time of the...

I think item 1 was used to allow boring things like standard lamps for the flex. A Coronet Major had a solid tail stock. Item 2 may be a fitment to go in a chuck. Tricky to explain but I think the work piece was then drilled to accept the shaft with the ‘key way’, a circular roller was laid...

Iron sulphate …cheap and works.

Yep. That should be fine.

This is the correct lead detail. Without the lead tray you will struggle, especially with some brick types. Coating bricks can trap moisture. Mortar……Portland or lime ?

With regard to removing items from the headstock. The Coronet lathes had an ‘ejector ring’ and spanner. The ring can be seen in these pictures. The spanner engaged with the hole. By use of the spanner and holding the drive belt, items could be removed. It helped to have a leather washer behind...

All good advice. Before spending considerable money …just confirm that the following have been done: Prove boiler pressure sensor, tricky, usually means a replacement so not top of the list! Insert independent pressure gauge Pressure test boiler heat exchanger Test / check / weigh any expansion...

It’s some years since I owned one of these. If my memory serves me correctly the motor is on the other side with the principal drive to the cutter block? This side providing the various speed reductions for the feeds from the other end of the cutter block? If this is the case, I would check...

Do change the main stopcock but then fit a Surestop unit as mentioned earlier. Brilliant for emergency use.

Have you actually lifted that second cover and cleaned it out?

Hi Niall I have the same issue this coming summer on a property where I have no knowledge of the history of the coatings used on the ‘rough cast’ render. I was going for Sandtex, who do a Cornish Cream colour. Having used it for some patch repairs this summer, I was not really impressed, nothing...

I think a new set of brushes. Not usually expensive.
