Yes good shot. Now, what engine?Water pump?
Its very Crafty! So, the mat has a magnetic layer and you have rulers with magnetic strips that will hold paper or similar thin material fairly securely for marking-out!An incidental question please. How do you use the Magnetic cutting mat?
I know this is out of sequence but here's more info on the Jumo 222. NASM did have one, which was 'found' in storage in 1967. The Royal Aircraft Establishment (Farnborough) had completed a full examination of the Jumo 222 in 1946 and produced a report on it. I am not sure if the UK gave the one they had to the US but given the report detailed the engine torn down into parts, I suspect not. In 1977, NASM was communicating with Deutsches Museum which resulted in a trade, giving them the Jumo 222. The Jumo 222 was an 'E' model, Werke Nr. 3. I have a copy of the report, which I will see if I can obtain approval to release it to this website if viewers want to see it.It is very fortunate with this prototype Jumo 222 engine piston that they stamped all the data on the top of the piston because, on normal production pistons the data is stamped on the base of the gudgeon pin (wrist pin) boss's where the metal is thick. With this particular piston being cut into an ashtray, that would have been lost. TBH, I do not actually know if the piston was cut in Germany or the USA, it might just have been done in Germany at Junkers as a momento when the prototype development was scrapped and someone wanted a relic ashtray? Whatever, I was told that it was taken back to USA by an engineer at the end of the war. If anyone has other Jumo 222 bits, give me a call!

Thanks Snautzer. Yes, I think this is quite a large database. Can it download in full?
Sorry I did not lose interest, and with your last comment about it I figured it was from a DB 601 or DB 605, but having no experience with either type I did not make a guess, my bad. I was just waiting for someone more knowledgeable to answer.Well, I guess interest has gone in my coolant pump! Thanks for the guesses. The pump is actually off a DB 605 A probably made in late Spring 1944 at the Genshagen plant. In fact the parts could have been made as early as 1941 because they are the same as the DB 601 E, but they are not from that time, the numbers give the detail.
Cheers

Cheers cammerjeff. I have reconsidered the damage on my coolant pump and I think it is damage from the scrapman. The pump has bandclamps on those outlets with reinforced rubber hose. I suspect the scrapy just chisels them away in one blow, it looks like a chisel has gone through it. So that probably means that the engine finished the war in a broken aircraft, or as an engine awaiting repair or overhaul, there were thousands. As regards the number clues on the impellor you can see the ?01.707.008 which should be 601 etc but the machining of the impellor has cut back the 6. As you now know, this was the 601 E upgraded pump that carried over into the 605 A/B. Also, the ?205.4 number is cut back and missing the 3. 3205.4 is the alloy metal spec. Keep contributing!Sorry I did not lose interest, and with your last comment about it I figured it was from a DB 601 or DB 605, but having no experience with either type I did not make a guess, my bad.

Great ian! But which Bf 109 tailwheel?I'm thinking Me109 tailwheel for your last pic. I didn't see your previous, the update reminder took me past it. Wouldn't have known the type, though. Good game!
