MSM Pevensey Plinth Dimensions for Philip
« on: August 05, 2019, 10:17:34 pm »
Here you go Philip, sorry for the delay. I put them up here as it was easier.

Any questions, just sing out. You can see how there is a smaller plinth that the engine(s) are on and then that's mounted to the larger plinth.

Jim, very much appreciated thank you!

I just received notification from MSM today that my Pevensey has been shipped out!

Anyway i'm sure they might be others who would benefit from this too.  ;)

Jim sorry to be a pain but what are the dimensions of the smaller plinth?, i've got the depth from your other photo.

One thing i've realised i might have to do is to cut a recess out to accommodate the reversing mechanism on my base as i don't know what the clearance will be until i get it.

Your bases look like silky oak?

Hi Philip the smaller plinth is silky oak, the larger plinth is a tropical hardwood from up north.

The dimensions of the small plinth are -

60mm wide

15mm high (this is high enough to for the flywheel to clear the bottom plinth)

105mm long

I'll do another thread with some better photos later, the base is going to be a bit more complex due to the reversing mechanism, the base shown in the photo is just temporary.

Jim, thanks again for all of your help. I actually had some off cuts of wood to hand which i used for the engine base:
