Blitz cowl holding and positioning device
Hi Jacques
Like your nose assembly tool, your roll around stand looks like it would be very adaptable too the problem of positioning heavy and award parts. As I've gotten older it is a matter of being craftier vs. stronger working on CMPs. So many of the lifting jobs in my shop are done with a jib crane which is adjustable in sever axis. This weekend when I was looking for pictures of the side view of C60S to answer Hanno's question. Found lot of old pictures two of them show and alternative method of positioning the nose on a CMP another CMP. C60S Restortation -13.jpg C60S Restortation -14.jpg Cheers Phil

Yes, I made it as much for holding and moving large bulky items to work on them as for positioning the cowling. The nose needs a few repairs: a few spot welds redone, a few dents removed and a few holes welded shut. I can actually mount it upside down on the rack at a nice comfortable height for working on it especially for welding. I find if I dump something in the corner of the shed it just sits there. I can also move it around now when space is at a premium. Like your jib arrangement. Found the balance point of the cowling was close to the radiator support bracket holes on the 25mm x 75mm RHS so probably could have got by with just the engine crane to position it with fabricating a support bracket to attach to those holes. Like you suggested it will come in handy for other things and I greatly improved my accuracy on the drill press building it. Can honestly say I did not have to elongate any holes to make the bolts fit! Cheers,

lathe
Since I bought a lathe, it has been so useful . I've made bolts - bushes - pins shafts and heaps more , even a ACME thread lead screw . And having a small milling machine is great, I made a 24 tooth gear out of cast iron , using a dividing head .
Pics of the broken gear . I machined off the broken gear and made up a new gear blank . The Gear being made Mike
