Later, a removable, appropriately curved 0.3mm roof with inner supports will cover everything. This will allow me to adjust the bevel gears and grease them later if necessary.

The inner supports were milled out of HPL and Pertinax.

The 3.0 mm thick Pertinax parts are precisely lined up with 1.0 mm brass rods and glued together.

They form a fixed unit and are also bonded to the roof panel.

Another Pertinax gauge will help to bring the sheet into the desired bend.

Contrary to the original idea of using a 0.3 mm thick sheet, I have partially recessed a 0.5 mm thick nickel silver sheet by 0.3 mm. The inner area then sits in the edge recesses of the side plates of the gearbox housing, while the 0.2 mm thick edge protrudes laterally by 0.2 mm. This prevents water from penetrating into the inner box.

The nickel silver sheet was annealed before bending. I used the recessed area with the 2.5 mm hole to align it with the gearbox. This ensured parallel rounding of the outer edges when bending over the box.

Getriebegehäuse  Dachhülle 02 (fspg2)



So that I can also remove the roof, it was shortened on the back above the 2.5mm hole.
A corresponding 0.2mm thick nickel silver sheet is soldered to the back of the gearbox before the protective tube for the 2.0mm silver steel axle is soldered in. This makes the protrusion appear even from the outside.

To solder the small protective tubes (with a wall thickness of only 0.2 mm) at right angles to the walls of the box, a Pertinax jig is once again used.

I am always impressed by the precision of your work.

[Bernhard]

I would also say that's really impressive!

It continues with small steps.

A 2.0mm Pertinax sheet was used for the "interior fittings... However, I had to sand individual pieces flat on a board covered with sandpaper to achieve the desired total width of 18mm for the 9 individual elements arranged in a row. The board had a wall thickness of 2.14mm.

I then pressed everything into the outer Pertinax jig again with the vice.

Getriebegehäuse  Dachhülle 07 (fspg2)



As I have already described above, the removable roof plate should have an extension made of 0.2 mm nickel silver sheet soldered onto the rear wall.

In order to be able to screw the M 1.6 Allen screws into the collar of the 4.0 mm diameter bevel gears, I fixed them on a long M2.0 mm screw and carefully drilled through the center one after the other with 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm drill bits. With a few drops of oil, it worked wonderfully.

Good idea, but unfortunately it will probably be many, many years before I have some breathing space. There are about 15 other projects in my boxes that are waiting to be completed. And I haven't even thought about all the ideas that are just buzzing around in my head. So please be patient.  

I am always very pleased when things sometimes work out as desired.
Just recently, for example, it turned out that a protective tube had to be routed from the engine inside the crane housing to the elevated gearbox. This requires a 2.5mm hole to be drilled through the roof.


Once again, a little Pertinax lesson helped.

It consists of three parts, which are inserted into each other and precisely aligned by the roof bow frame to define the position for the 2.5 mm drill bit.

Today there was only one small part - a bearing block for the 2.5/2.0mm protective tube on the underside of the crane housing roof.

The 2.0 mm silver steel drive rod is guided by ball bearings at both ends of the protective tube.

Lagerblock Schutzrohr 02 (fspg2)


Lagerblock Schutzrohr 03 (fspg2)



A 6.0 mm deep and 8.0 mm wide pocket was milled into an MDF board and an 8.0 mm MS58 tube section was inserted. I fixed the ends of the tube with superglue so that nothing moved when I cut through it with a 2.0mm solid carbide cutter.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a radius on the right-hand part. It corresponds to the lower curve of the crane roof.
 
Lagerblock Schutzrohr 04 (fspg2)



As the tube had an internal diameter of 4.0mm, the underside for the lower ball bearing was "drilled out" with a 6.0mm milling cutter. After cutting to the final dimension, a 4.0/2.5mm piece of tube was soldered onto the top. This gave me the vertical alignment of the protective tube. Drilling through a brass rod with 2.5mm and 6.0mm would certainly have been a bit quicker - but I only had a suitable tube

Beautiful ... as usual. -- Russ

[Ray Dunakin]

Excellent work!

[fspg2]

Initially, I wanted to solder the outer gearbox together from four individual brass plates....

Dachwinkelverstrebung 04 (fspg2)


...but this idea was quickly discarded.
Final assembly of the inner gearbox would then no longer have been possible after painting.
I also wanted to be able to dismantle the inner gearbox at a later date in order to re-grease it if necessary.


So here is the more maintenance-friendly version:

Dachträger Montage 01 (fspg2)


Dachträger Montage 02 (fspg2)



The two orange upper parts of the gearbox should only be lightly glued to the green rivet pins and not soldered.

Dachträger Montage 03 (fspg2)



Dachträger Montage 08 (fspg2)




The lower part of the outer gearbox was milled out of a 10.0 mm thick MS58 scrap piece.

Dimension: 23.8mm x 18.0mm x 8.9mm


After cutting through the two small retaining tabs on the right and left, I was able to remove the frame and neaten everything up.

The box then received the corresponding 1.0 mm holes on both sides, as well as a 0.6 mm wide and 0.5 mm deep groove from the front for the retaining plate of the two front reinforcement profiles. These are not riveted, as they were probably welded on at a later date on the original.

Two corresponding 10.0 mm deep grooves in an MDF board were used for fixing.

Before it can be mounted on the roof frame, the six L-profiles are still missing.

Even the "plain", hidden parts are meticulously fabricated.

[finescalerr]

Bill seems to have found an excellent word to describe all of your work: Meticulous. I will add another: Satisfactory. -- Russ

[fspg2]

@Bill, @Russ,

Even if meticulousness usually takes a little longer, the result usually makes up for it!

The missing 3.0mm x 3.0mm have also been completed in the meantime.

Before further assembly, the two upper 0.4 mm connecting plates were carefully bent on the pre-milled V-groove on the sheet metal bending machine.

Dachträger Montage 13 (fspg2)



Dachträger Montage 14 (fspg2)


I used a small HPL gauge to check the angle until the desired 151 degrees were achieved.

Dachträger Montage 14b (fspg2)



The parts were then soldered to the wire pins in another Pertinax jig.

Dachträger Montage 15 (fspg2)



After the rivet heads had been wound with the finishing cutter, everything looked quite acceptable when loosely fitted together.

Dachträger Montage 17 (fspg2)



A new Pertinax gauge is then used for precise alignment when soldering the roof rack.

Dachträger Montage 18 (fspg2)



The other add-on parts can then also be soldered in alignment.

Dachträger Montage 19 (fspg2)



This gauge can be easily pulled out at the end from the underside.

[finescalerr]

Even more satisfactory. -- Russ

[Sami]

The operating mode and the different templates for the manufacture of the parts are perfectly studied and the. result is great.
