A recent tool available from Dave:-
“I write to advise the club that after much head scratching I've now finished making a small jig specifically for use on KSS/KTS Mk2 cammies and any other such similar models which have the part K14/5 i.e. the top alloy housing in which the top pair of bevel-gears are housed.
The 4 small studs which hold the outer cover in place have about 1/2" depth of grip are tapped 1/4" BSW into the housing. So after 70+ years use the threaded alloy tends to lose some of it's effect.
It is necessary to remove the housing from the cylinder head to use this jig.
The jig is made mainly from plywood with a 1" thick laminboard base. It will allow you to re-bore/helicoil the stud holes by holding the part with this surface horizontal, so it can be held firmly on your drill table whilst drilling out the holes. The jig will also allow the drilling/tapping to be done whilst the cam-shaft and cams are in place thus there's no need to remove/replace the cams/spindle or re-set the valve timing etc.
I realise I've probably re-invented the wheel, or there is another obvious means of doing this I've completely missed...
Anyway, if anyone wants to borrow they're welcome but I'd rather keep it with me or I can bring it to a meeting if pre-arranged, as there is a need for me to explain just how it fits etc.
Regards
David
