Re: Ruddertwin Jugs

[chris-p]

Plating went on too thick at the bottom of the jug, end of the stroke. My hones don’t seem to have an effect on it at all. Ill have to get them professionally machined now I suppose. Thanks for the help all.

Lesson learned. I tested the bore at the top of the jug only, Did not properly test the bore at the bottom of the jug, and was rushing so did not test for out of round, which it obviously is by about 7 thou.

Actually if I were to restore another Ruddertwin, I would take the time to make a proper blank for the open end of the jug, to ensure no plating got into the cylinder. I ASSumed it would be easier to hone than it is, so I just dunked the whole thing.
