Re: lost property well that would be Belfast and experience tells me that there is lttle hope
Re: James
Thanks for the offer unfortunetly as a beginner I'm not totally au-fait (oh! bit a french there) with the various model variations. What might be handy if so,eone with a sixties se2 could get the verniers out and give us a few dimensions. Either way I would like to keep this thread open and see what you mamodians can suggest
I mean... I cant be the only person in the world to lose a wallet, a pair of designer specs and a 60's se2 refurbished flywheel on three seperate occasions over a three week period on the same train journy ...now can I
Having sold my soul to the devil (Yes a bit over-budget on this one)I am keen to get the bits right or else one of you founts of all steam knowledge will be quick to spot my newbie flywheel when I display the finished engine on here.
I can here it now nice base...shame about the flywheel!!!

How do you mean the pully... do you mean on the CShaft.
to be honest and I'm not being petty here but I can make something that fits, what I really would like is the same typ as was originally fitted. would the te look anything like this
heres an end shot
you can see that the bosses either side of the FW are unequal and the long side as a wee groove. Does this look familiar to anyone
come on guys you must have hundreds ya just makin me sffer aint ya  |

If the "new" flywheel on ebay has a offset hub with a groove, like the one pictured above, it will fit.
The only differences in these type of flywheels is the very early ones had a thicker rim. A bit later they had the same size rim, and no groove but the hub was still offset.
Then they had the groove.
My earlier SE1 and SE2 don't have the groove, but my SE2a, SR1 and Te1 have it. There won't be any need for you to cut anything off  _________________

Sorry James, I didn't realise you had offered one.
Anyway, as James said, his will fit  _________________

The SE3 flywheel is a larger diameter, but will probably fit.
