What are the two angled screw/adjusters for RAF?

Re: gear removal
If you are looking to salvage the old gear to put on the new motor and it is brass then I would try a hot air gun on it with any luck it will just drop off. Install it while it is still hot by the time it is cool it will be a tight fit on the shaft.bobclifford1953 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 7:21 pm hi its me agaln i have a west country / battle of britain which has a motor which is on its last legs and is in need of replacement i have sourced replacement and want to know if it is much of a job to replace the worm gear as the replacement comes without one regards bob
PS handle the hot item with some pliers but be careful not to damage the teeth

Re: gear removal
Spare mandrels for different size shaft diameters. Replace the in-use mandrel as required, by screwing into the main Tee driver.

Gotcha thanks.

Re: gear removal
The thin mandrel was very soft and bent then broke off, so I had to drill the mandrel body out to take a hardened steel rod in lieu. The heavier mandrels haven't seen any use yet.teedoubleudee wrote: ↑Wed Aug 25, 2021 10:13 amGotcha thanks.
