Pictures of the Week                                            November 4, 2006

Today we successfully answered the question:

How do you make this      Look like this    ?

The drawing can be found on sheet 3 at:  alt0001.htm  After two hours on the lathe the comment was made:  "Hey, this thing is looking like the finished drawing!"

       

       

       

   

Next step is to reassemble the alternator and make a trial fit in the engine.  If all is well the magneto drive will be welded to the alternator hub to complete the fabrication of the alternator drive.  I plan to use four spot welds where the cross flanges are located to minimize any heat deformation of the finished piece.
