Sexton 1900 restoration

[MrBNaylor]

Jesse,

Also...are you planning on getting this in running? If so i would love to visit and perhaps my Grandfather and great uncle as well. The book that Terry Warner has suggested is a great book " The sextons in Canadian service" by Doug Knight. I'll look for the contact email for you if your interested in getting one. One of the vets from the 23rd has a few more copies. also here is a link to my YouTube Channel.
I'll have some great footage of the Sextons in Action during the Normandy battle. Hopefully ready in the next month or two.

Bryon; Great pictures. I'm always looking for more pictures and information about the Sexton. I do have the book "The Sexton in Canadian Service" . I wish there were more information available. I have no idea where mine was. This one should be running in march, and driving the following month. Jesse.

Servicepub is a small publisher. Without giving away the game or slagging the man for his efforts, Clive doesn't pay his authors huge advances and 'Villa in the South of France'-sized remitances. I'll bet the author has more information and files than got into print. Contact him through Clive.

Engine going back together. I need some more accurate information on installation of the impeller and the clearances involved.

....

How about talking to the flyboys in the Confederate Air Force? The Sexton engine is derived from an aircraft engine. It makes sense to me that those guys rebuild enough warbird engines to have passed along the answers to your questions like folklore.

Jesse,

Is this what you mean with the "impeller shaft oil slinger"?

I don't think that Doug has too many more photos but he checks into MLU regularly and can reply to that. I, on the other hand, have a number of Sexton photos that did not make it into the book and these will find their way onto http://www.ramtank.ca/sexton.htm in the near future. More photos here http://www.ramtank.ca/sexton_photos.htm

Clive; Great pictures there. Thanks, Jesse.

BTW; Those of you working on the R975 C-4. The information in the manual concerning cutting lengths for the ignition wires may be incorrect for your engine. The ignition harness main conduit described in the manual has a smaller radius than the one on my engine. The cutting lengths listed in the manual are to short for it. Jesse.

Jesse,
I would gladly accept any photo donations for use on my website.
