I played with it some more last night. I reshaped the space between the two plates and made it a bit thicker as well. I am going to turn up some spacers to help hold things in the right position. Waiting on the stock to get here. Hope to get some parts cut this weekend... if the mill is willing! Eric |

I might cut a trial back plate today/tomorrow to test the location of the gear. I want to make sure it is meshing properly with the gear on the crankshaft. Eric |
