Crankshaft End Piece For Flywheel End Prop
Mount
Veeduber has described
the use and making
of such pieces, I thought y'all would like to look at one. I had
Steve Bennet of Great
Plains make this one for me. It differs a little bit from
Veedubers drawing, in that it was chewed from plate, and Steves
shop made a clean, shouldered recess for the prop extension to
spigot into. Dan Diehl
will be happy to chew a similar piece for you out of a flywheel,
for a little less money, but you will lose the ability to spigot
the prop extension into the end piece. Either Dan or Steve will
also build you a prop extension; I'm buying mine from Saber.
This is the side the prop extension will mount
to:
And this is the side that faces the #1 bearing.
