Thanks Vette.
Ron, I tend to try and reuse what I have. Parts that are cheap in the USA are quite expensive by the time they get here, with shipping and duty factored in. When I'm playing with the flatheads I'm just tinkering, rather than doing a proper rebuild, hence the use of the parts I have. With this motor and the crusty flatty I'm building them for fun (and interesting video content) and don't actually need either of them. If I had a lot of torn down 8BA parts around I'd probably be using those.

Mart.
