Bruce, here is a photo with nuts on end of shaft.
Thanks Frank , looks like I'll be giving it a shot.

Thread is: 1/4" 32 TPI
If you don't have the tap and die, I can mail you mine to use.

Thanks Charlie , that's very kind of you , I think I probably have that one.

I saw Nick & Jan both had one of these engines when I researched Youtube, I could (possibly) make one of these if I could get all the technical information I need to build one. if someone could supply me with all that information including a few photo's I will attempt to build one for Larry.
Thanks , Bruce
A bit slow response here Bruce, but nonetheless...

I just listed my #43 on ebay, starting bid $9.99

Just a heads up, if the Weeden boiler is punched and threaded without a bushing there are only a few threads and a Mamod whistle or safety valve will work in a pinch.
-
Unfortunately Ian is very hard to get ahold of… I was trying to buy an engine he had listed for sale and no reply :-\
-
Have you tried to contact Ian at MF Steam, perhaps you will have better luck than me. Kevin was making them for me so I am now looking for another supplier. Unfortunately I don't even have any used ones I can spare.
-
I just saw the whole engine for sale on Ebay so I posted it in the Ebay section. Need extra parts?
-
Mine went to the UK, but should be the same as the 43 which Larry has for sale.

That was the first place I went Bruce and was surprised not to find a replacement there - would have thought a missing safety valve happens quite often. Actually I was surprised mine was gone - I think I'm going to blame Maggie my cat.
-
Have you tried Frank ,our own weeden steam ?

I need a Weeden Model 44 safety valve which should be the same as a Model 43 and perhaps a few others. The only source I can find is MF Steam in the UK and am not really sure how to order from him - I guess you tell him what you want and he tells you how much it's going to be. I also would be happy to purchase a used one if anyone has a spare. Also the whistle could stand to be replaced but I can live without that as I just want it to run so I can move it out of storage. Thanks!
