Can you scan a bit of the drawing that shows the cam and post here then more people will be able to offer advice as there are several methods but not all may suit your cams

There are a few methods shown on Modelenginenews

Had a quick look at Hemmingways site and looks like you could use the boring head method, take a look at this photo in my album and the following three, its a similar cam for a Hoglet V-twin

Hi Dave, build instructions were serialised in Engineering in Minuture some time in the seventies, I have one that I started but never completed, can give you the dates if you require them good luck with the build, cheers nev.

ps,used to live in Rochdale but now Atlanta so a visit might be expensive.
