Default Morris stuff

Plate glass ...... has he gone mad I can hear you say . It's the ideal method for lapping in any flat surface . I learnt about it when I used to grind radio XTALS up in Frequency , the old FT243 type XTALS , you can disassemble them and grind the thin plate of quartz down . You use carborundum powder , or fine carborundum grade paper . Plate glass is optically flat , which means its great for levelling carby joints/faces and many other uses too , the thick stuff is the best 1/4" or more .


The Morris engines - Dave's looks better than new . Watch out for the oil leaks Dave , it's British . The tree frog green is eye catching .
