Thanks, Geoff - that sounds ideal. Just a pic of the doo-dah bit would be
great, there's probably no need for detailed drawings unless there's
something cunning about it.

I couldn't get a message to your email address above, but mine should work.

If you have access to Model Engineers Workshop, there was a 7 page
article describing the construction of an updated Westbury boring and
facing head in issue no 78 (Nov/Dec 2001). This included drawings and
photographs (and details of the striker mechanism).

Thanks. I have pictures of the Dore striker now, but will look that
up as well - the local MES has a good library.
