11. Making the globe valve

3. Cder

The globe valve body was one made several years ago but not used. Finishing it off and finalising the coupling through to the governor takes us to the end of construction.

This is how the globe valve was finished. Here is the top and the threaded boss to be. The thin rod is 1/16 brazing rod.
First bend. This is the second attempt - on the first the thin bar got too hot and distorted and then I went and bent it the wrong way!
Much better.
The small circular wrench was pressed into service again but proved insufficient leverage for the 6BA (used) tap in the brass.
A short spigot was turned up to keep the parts in line. Though not close to the area to be soldered it was blacked up by heating and dipping in oil several times to prevent possible accidental soldering.
Fluxed up ready for soldering
Parted off from the parent rod it was still held on the steel spigot and this used for cleaning up the back face.
Ready for final cleaning up and having the casting effect applied - actual size is 14.4mm major dia with 6BA thread.
Ready for assembly. The spindle is turned from an electric arc stainless welding rod (flux removed first of course). This turned reasonably well without distorting unlike the material used for the throttle rod.
Trial assembly to the pipework.
And a trial fit to the engine. This is as far as the inlet side of things can go until the engine is mounted on its proper base.
