What names can you make out? I can read Joe Bailey (who seems to have signed twice, running off the edge the first time), Sam Hazleton, erm…

Cool, so there was Enough in the set and some assorted washers spare for future use. At least you can tell people it has been done to Aviation Spec and you have the paperwork to prove you can trace them back to manufacture if they ever recall them lol.

🙂

In fact there wasn’t. The set contains a lot of washers of many types – mostly plain or spring, but only three that I could use. So I ordered some more the right size

Paperwork just doesn’t cut it in the canal world, a handshake is far more valuable. But then, canal boats don’t fall out of the sky, do they

Just to let you know, tab washers arrived today and are installed:

I now have a canal boat gearbox with a certificate of conformity :confused:

Thank you everyone,

Whoa! Stop

Thank you Tony and Dave. I’ve ordered a mixed pack from LAS now. I need some 5/16″ for the clutch end in the picture above and some 1/4″ for the input bevel end of the bevel cluster. in the image below:

The mixed pack should do what I need, straight, ninety degree or whatever. It’s only a boat gearbox after all, and currently it has spring washers. I’d rather return it to the designed state, hence the tab washers.

Once again, thanks guys, you’ve been brilliant

That’s useful. I wonder if there is one local, I’ve never had a reason to look for a Rolls-Royce dealer before

For curious minds, some of the gearbox components:

makes me laugh coz the Lancaster didnt enter service until 1942

Then it’s from the prototype and worth twice as much! :p

In general, don’t you think it would be good to give a brief title to indicate what, where, when etc? And maybe acknowledge the source!

Who is the ‘you’ you have in mind?

Awww, I’ve gone all warm and fuzzy now…

Wildfire, I can’t help celebrating the difference between when you were thinking of selling your engine to now when you are marching forwards, and sharing your skills too

Thank you, that’s a great result

TVOC WILL be forthcoming with the answers, but to the relevant authorities who actually need to know.
I’d hazard that Key forums and the myriad of other aviation websites probably aren’t in that list.

Actually, I would say that they have been very good at managing this story to avoid speculation, there have been at lest two news releases so far. Well done TVOC

They could, if they could fit ex Concorde afterburning olympus 593 engines. Must be a few of those about 🙂

In theory I suppose they could – a Vulcan was used as a test bed for the Concorde engines IIRC. Who would own the design responsibility for that though? And could they afford the paperwork for the changes to the aeroplane – if only to fit a switch to engage the afterburners?
