Very nice work on the shaft! I'd be looking at some sort of a 3 wheel setup. On the subject of insane ev projects i've been eyeing up a mini digger and a forklift pump motor combo

 

[jackbauer]

Great minds eh? One good thing is that the building game in Ireland is dead so stuff like minis can be had for pennies on the dollar! No need for a controller just a good contactor like a kilovac. So all thats needed would be an ev van with a trailer for the ev mini digger. Low carbon garden services ltd!

You guys are making me think of possible applications for my warp 13

 

[jackbauer]

I use these guys for bearings , pulleys etc:

Good service and good prices. I got two ntn bearings for my motor from them worked out about 30 euros. The muppets over here wanted over a hundred!

Nice work. I made the jig in this video for keyway cutting. Saved me hours of torture!

A agree with Jim. Looking at my own recent coupler experience. First time i fitted it to the motor , the gearbox was doing the funky chicken! It was just a case of finding the one location it was happy and grinding back a bolt head. Its extremely frustrating but the best thing to do is down tools and take a break.

I dont know if you could justify the cost but i'd recommend odyssey batteries. They have insane power and almost no sag.

 

[jackbauer]

What about a timing belt tensioner? I get em free from a local garage. Very usefull for belt drives etc.

 

[jackbauer]

Another idea. Timing chain tensioner!

 

[jackbauer]

What kind of shaft is on that motor?

 

[jackbauer]

you could weld it with a 29/9 rod. I have a few if you need em.

 

[jackbauer]

I found a guy on ebay (chinese i suspect) selling volt and amp meters who has a bunch of retro looking stuff. I'll try and dig out the link. Love those old girling master cylinders

thats a hell of a project. fabing everyting from scratch. well done!

Here ya go:

Have a search under "meters" in his shop for what you need.

 

[jackbauer]

Dont forget to use nickel welding rods

 

[jackbauer]

That hub looks like cast iron so you'd use a nickel or 29/9 rod to weld it.

 

[jackbauer]

Woody , Is that plate cast iron? I have nickel welding rods by the dozen if you need a few. Nice work

 

[jackbauer]

Looking good! Wish I had the patience to do that sort of work Sorry to hear about your health problems. Glad to see your getting back into the saddle!

 

[jackbauer]

I have a couple of forklift pump motor assemblies. One is 24v from a pallet jack the other is 36v from a small truck. Either is yours for the cost of postage if any help.

 

[jackbauer]

I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know. Might be cheaper to use DPD via work due to the weight.

 

[jackbauer]

Sorry forgot all about the pump! Been mad recently. Will check it out next week and get shipped.
