Breisch steam hammer

Post by paulj84003 »

I recently acquired castings for a Paul Breisch steam hammer. The plans that i have do not indicate the seal material for the piston rod. the seal is compressed between 2 bronze pieces 1 5/16 dia and 1 1/4 inches apart, the piston rod is 3/4" with a flat, on one side. Has anyone built this hammer and if so what kind of packing did you use?
Thanks for any assistance.

Paul
