Hw35 1973 Pressie

[webster 90]

for my birthday this year my missis bought me an old hw35 in rough condition it was cheap thankfully

 

i only just got round to having a look and play with it properly last week its all stripped cleaned and cold blued back up now but the leather piston seal was shagged .i have fitted a new breach seal and a piston head converter to a synthetic seal

 

all the work has raised the power to a massive 6.7 flb i understand its never going to shoot as my hw80 does but i kinda want the power in the mid 9flbs as its going to be used for clearing barns of ferrals so the lower power will help stop the roof getting holed

 

any tips will be greatly read and considered

 

new spring is on its way so i hope that makes a difference and im looking at getting the piston converter turned down as its got about 4mm more hight when the new seal is fitted over the leather seal had

 

cheers
