tooling. Top centre of the picture is the mounting mandrel for the piston. The diameter on the right is a precision fit in the skirt of the piston and the front face butts against the gudgion boss. The drawbar (top left passes through the mounting and is located in the piston with a gudgion pin and the screw tightened gently (hand tight - only sufficient to stop the piston from moving whilst lapping or turning). The lap is shown at the bottom and is made from aluminimum and is a sliding fit on the piston before it was split. The clamp screw gives control of the size during the lapping. |
