    My reciprocating saw has payed for itself many times over by cutting patch panels out of cars that are being scrapped. I plan on buying a battery powered one to make trips to the self serve junkyards easier.

    Can't comment on the Peter May version, but I've no doubt it is of good quality as the rest of his stuff is, but I fitted an MED Engineering one along with their heavy duty clutch and their flywheel and it's good.

    MED state theirs is only for their clutch/cover (which is a 7.5" AP jobby), maybe there are similar contraints on the Peter May one - afraid I don't know, but worth ringing Pete...

    The inner diameter of the spigot bearing on my marina engine is between 12.7 and 13 mm
    the outer diameter of the spigot bearing (roller) is 19 mm (0.75 inch).
    This seems to match the OD of the br...

    Getting back to appliances, my parents bought a Philco fridge shortly after they were married. Time passed, and said fridge is now in our basement humming away, keeping Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper cool while we plan the folks' 60th Anniversary party. I'm amazed. My wife maintains that it should go, thinking that it's responsible for the bulk of our electric bill. Not sentimental at all... But I grew ...

    How about something like a rivnut? Might be available in a smaller diameter....

    "Edward,

    Neil seems to have a typo there.
    For 3.6 turns of the engine the tail shaft turns once on a standard box.
    For 2.4 turns of the engine the tail shaft turns once on a CR box.

    Thanks Mick, you are absolutely right!
