    Hi All

    I have added a couple more photos to show the piston rod side of the joint on both the HP and LP pistons to show the thin ring of silver solder in joint.

    Still a little bit more machining to complete the pistons and rods. Piston ring grooves and a taper on the rod with slot for locking key to connect to crosshead.
