[modeleng] Re: Juliet's

I dont know about prices as they seem to vary widely, with time, supplier, 
and even perhaps the weather!

However, I can say that the cylinders for Juliet are probably one of the 
easiest to fabricate.
If you need any dimensions off the cylinders that are not on the drawings, 
let me know and I'll run a rule over them.

Gent's,

It's just as TEL says. Over here in Oz, it is normally cheaper to buy (and
have it posted) from the UK than it is to buy from local suppliers.
There are some exceptions, but generally it is the rule. For me, it is
cheaper to buy all nuts and bolts from Searle Fasterners here in Perth.  You
may want to give them a chance to quote TEL. They have every conceivable
thread form and head shape, and at really good prices. Rivets, I buy from
the UK. Well.... I used to.... I haven't needed any for a long time... But I
know they are still cheaper to get from there.

I just priced some GM for the cylinders. I have pasted the prices below. At
AU$250 for 4 cylinders, covers, eccentric straps, and valve chests, it is
much cheaper than the castings. Reeves price for 1 cylinder set is
AU$442.50. Certainly worth fabricating them. How do these prices compare to
other places in the world?

LG2 57mm solid x 305mm Long (1ft) - $155.00/ft + G.S.T.

LG2 45mm OD x 19mm ID x 305mm Long (1ft) - $83.00/ft + G.S.T.
