Hi biggles, the part you sent the link for is the wrong one I'm afraid, the correct one
Is the 2503 but thank you for taking the time to help much appreciated.

So back to square one.

Hey John, I'll rummage in my spares box and get some pictures of what I've got.

A little work, but I think you could build that up using 1mm styrene.
Two side pieces, and a pre bent top/back plate, and a bit of brass for the hardware.

john44 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2018, 07:24:07 PM »

Thanks for the drawings umi, I will have a go making a plug to form the bucket and trim
to shape.

John

Neil · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2018, 11:14:14 PM »

if you make a plug, slightly thicker in wall thickness than the existing one John, and then make a rubber split mould and cast in none shatter polyurethane resin (cfs resins sell it in 1kilo packs) it shrinks ever so slightly when curing and you will get areplacement bucket to the same size as what you need..

by the way, did you get my message about the Watson.........presume it was yourself that sent me one about a plan.

Hi Neil

Yes I did receive your reply thank you.
It is the clinker build I am interested in really or how to clinker build a similar hull.

Might sound silly, but have you tried Graupner them self's.

TomHugill · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2018, 09:16:16 AM »

Hey John I'm afraid my buckets for the 28mm jet

Hi Tom, thank you for taking the time to look, it is appreciated.

Hi baloo

I thought graupner had gone? I will have a look on the net and see what comes up.

Know anybody who's into 3D printing ? there's a lot of jet drive stuff in camcad floating about on the internet , the Graupner gear was fragile at best , someone must have had one drawn up . . . .
