Building the Crankshaft Assembly
Starting at the beginning, the main supporting bearings need to be produced.
I made the two bearings from 3/4 diameter phosphor bronze bar attached squarely to a brass flat at 3/16 by 2 and 1/4 x 1 and 1/2 inches each.
The brass flats sit end-on on top of the firebox top plate and are bolted to the tops of the inside of the firebox side plates.
Firstly, take your 1 and 1/2 inch x 3/16 brass plate and cut off two lengths at a little over 2 and 1/4 inches and square the ends off before marking the centre of the length on each plate.
Mark off at 1/4 inch along both the upright sides and also the bottom edge along with a mark from the bottom again on both plates across the centre line at 1 and 1/2 inches up and lightly centre punch these two points.
The 4ba securing bolts on the sides are set at 1/4, 3/4, and 11/4 inches up from the base. These holes will be threaded for the 4ba bolts and lock nuts will be added on the inside for security purposes.
