I'll stop hogging Dave C's thread now. Chris
Thanks Chris, and in the spirit of keeping good archives here...I think it's a good idea if you and Dave both have separate threads...you both have similar machines but different questions; it gets hard for us, when threads get confused.
If you are going to restore your machine to original, post in the Restoration and Customising forum; if it is a renovation or just repairs, post in the Repairs and Maintenance forum.
I think it is prudent here for me to mention now, that you both consider subscribing to the Parts Lists and Manuals area for the Scott Bonnar Model 45 manuals...this will give you the nitty-gritty of how all the parts fit together...and answer a few questions yourselves, before you have to ask ....
Also , don't hesitate to trawl through the Scott Bonnar posts in the various major forums....you will find answers to most all of your questions posted there...This saves us from repeating ourselves...and the reason we are trying to keep good archives.
You will learn all about your machine and gain a lot of satisfaction of "doing it yourself"....we are here to help...but we encourage our members to "learn new things" if you get my drift.
Here endeth the lesson!
