My Mercury Ratting Rig

[T 20]

a very pretty piston. Now just machine that o-ring crap off the end and stick on a d28 seal and you'll be golden

If the latch rod had been longer so that I didn't have to weld the top hat in just where the seal arbor would have been I may have considered using one, Jon.

More importantly though, a 28mm Diana seal is £12.50 and O rings cost me about 20 pence each.

Lol love the cheeky frankie pic, good work on that piston . will be interesting to see how it shoots, think you made the right decision with the later trigger btw.

think you made the right decision with the later trigger btw.

I can live with the trigger unit shown as it has sear engagement and Spring pressure adjustment screws, the only thing I'd like to add is an over travel adjustment screw.

So I'm going to drill and tap the casing for one along this line. :-

The screw will be loctited in because once the over travel is set it can remain set for life.

I get you now Mick. still reckon it'll be better with a longer spring and more spring room though, but really nice work, it's finally getting some love...
