1948 Mamod minor II (restoration process)
By: St Paul Steam Date: May 12, 2022, 3:11 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi folks, just finished restoring my 1948 Mamod Minor II with an
abundance of help from "Alan UK" I needed to fabricate a
cylinder assembly, safety valve & 2 wick burner, Alan helped me
with the dimensions on all those items & I knocked them out to
what you see here. it came together very well & started running
at 8 psi & is now down to around 3 psi before stalling, for a
single acting cylinder I am happy with that.
As recieved

Well done Bruce.
It looks better than new.
I look forward to seeing the painted burner in Mamod Green.
Kudos to Alan for his assistance.

Thanks Charlie & Tommy, I've had this bare bones plant since
last November and have entirely to many labor hours in it to
sell it on ,so it'll just sit on a shelf for years until I
forget how many hrs (18) I have into it's restoration... Lol.
I'm just happy to have saved it.

Hello Bruce, I enjoyed this thread a bunch. I myself would have
a hard time covering that attractive self made Meths burner with
paint, but I also understand the desire to make like original.
In the video you spoke of lining the firehouse with a heat
resistant material to help save the paint, I was wondering if
you could elaborate on that a little? Things like how you secure
in place or what the material is or possibly a link to purchase?
Thanks for making such high quality posts!

Great job, it is always good to see - that other members
also help to prevent these old engines.
Congrats, Arnold :D

the flame resistant material is 1/8" flame resistant sheet that
can be bought nearly anywhere , the stuff I used probably came
from China as I bought it years ago, I cut the 2 vent holes on
either side a little large as to not be seen & with the 1/2'
band that holds the boiler secure on this particular model I
simply tucked the heat shied between the band & firebox which
worked nicely....that was it.
