Looks like solder on the cylinder at least to me.
The JS bolts almost seem like Jensen Steam but probably some
hardware brand.
Great work!

Nice job, Charlie.
And like you said, it's great that Jensen still has replacement
bits. Much easier than finding a similar model to cannibalize.
Well done and for the price? Can't beat that with a stick.

Thank you all for the feedback.
I decided to leave the blob of solder. IMHO it’s part of the
engines history and character. It just doesn’t bother me.
As to the sight glass bolts, wheteher original or not, they look
cool, no one else seems to have them and they don’t leak. I
worked really hard cleaning these up!
Many of you have much more refined restoration skills than me.
For a first try at a frame off restoration of a Jensen, I am
very proud of the outcome.

Great deal you got there Charlie. Did you ask Jensen if they
used those bolts ever. Wouldn’t it be cool if JS stood for
Jensen Steam.

I have not asked Jensen.
Next time I talk to Dorita I will do so.
I did get in a new order of parts from Jensen today. So, when I
get home tomorrow night I will install the replacement spring on
the reversing mechanism.
Hopefully, I will get it steamedup on Saturday morning.
