yes a bit more EckyThump - considering the original one failed in a big physical way... In the first photo one can see the original all plastic unit only had plastic extrusion ridges, so I was surprised it had lased as long as it did. The new one uses the more conventional plastic and metal centrifugal combination. The failure happened after the Concreter mate I lent it too, wasn't used to using such a small gennie - and treated it like how you would a stubborn lawnmower ????

yes there is some airspace... I bolt the New Recoil Housing to the Plate, and then bolt the Plate to the Motor... The Centrifugal would already be axial-bolted to the Dog. This is then becomes a simple reversal for maintenance purposes...

.plus there's only one more day of paralympics...

and it'd always have to be steel/tin instead of alloy - the flexing could do in the aluminium ???? Kicking myself I used to have a box of copper'ish HardDrive media platters taken out of an old (and I mean really old) mainframe computer drive unit.

ps: I still have a heap of home recorded copes of ScrHpCh archived onto DvDram... but it's now more convenient to find it on i.e. dailymotion ???? Some might need to use a VPN for this... https://www.dailymotion.com/search/scrapheap challenge/videos much better than the yank imitation ( junkyard wars)

'Albatross!!! git your albatross..." ????

yeah I'm already hoping same about the Rim - as an original reasoning or using a paint tin lid ???? Only limitation is the confined space in the enclosure for such a lerge radius of Lid... Currently considering a new temporary template with a Milo lid for fitment purposes only...

also, I currently have the respective 3 holes of each staggered opposite the originals... (see the sketch on wood in the background) However the closer I can rotate the groups of holes axially closer, the stronger it might also be? The only limitations on the 'thickness' used, is how much (or little) clearance required can be achieved... too thick and the dog won't sufficiently contact the centrifugal mating surfaces...

anyway heres 2 photos... of trhe Old & New parts together; and another showing intended orientaion of the retrofitted parts... The original; Recoil housing had mounting holes 10cm apart\The Retrofit Recoil housing has holes 7cm apart If FIT is okay for this template of the adaptor plate? - I'm thinking a tin paint tin lid may supply a suitably strong final product? I am a great fan of 'ScrapHeap Challenge' ????

I go In...

A Share here of an Old Thai Airways photo from 1961... An Airport tow-motor at Ubon Ratchatani

actually made a mistake... It's ummm a 2kg tub. ????

It could be a ripper...

That may need Time...

my little generator khrapped out, in that the Pull StarterRecoil Assy did a total self-destruct... of course it is one of those generic china-built 'throwaway' gennies - for which there are No Spare Parts Replacements... SO the task was to replace the entire pull start recoil with whatever might be available? but which will also fit into the miniscule compartment surrounding that end of the motor. Well, I sourced some whippersnipper RopePullRecoils on eBay, dictated solely by what was 'small enough' to fit in that space?? Well this weekends task is to create a steel adaptor plate that will mate the engines (Recoiler) mounting points, with the mounting points on the new little Recoil unit ???? Last night I fashioned a 'template' unit out of the plastic lid from a 1kg Yogurt container - namely due to it being very thin, thinner than tinplate even... I know there won't be much latitude regarding the thickness, when a final steel/tin 'adaptor plate' is put in situ; in regards to providing the correct clearances between stationary and rotating parts... I am still visualising that this project is a sort of scaled down version akin to making an adaptor plate for mating a 4cylCarClutch, onto a v8 engine ???? The final Smoke test may be interesting to watch, albeit from behind safety goggles...

and Post here your recording of your Arc de Triumphe ????

Good to see a well strapped load for a change ????

current State of the nation... aussies will get it ????

would have been a bigger hoot, if it turned out he had actually lied to Mrs; and wasn't really going to play 'Golf' at all... and so either way still ends up with blue balls

maybe she was scared that unemployable Pretties are now Caddies?

The doc told a guy that masturbating before sex often helped men last longer during the act. The man decided; "What the hell, I'll try it," He spent the rest of the day thinking about where to do it before he got home to his wife. He couldn't do it in his office. He thought about the restroom, but that was too open. He considered an alley, but figured that was too unsafe. Finally, he realized his solution. On his way home, he pulled his truck over on the side of the highway. He got out and crawled underneath as if he was examining the truck. Satisfied with the privacy, he undid his pants and started to play with his unit. He closed his eyes and thought of his lover. As he grew closer to the big finish, he felt a quick tug at the bottom of his pants. Not wanting to lose his mental fantasy or the orgasm, he kept his eyes shut and replied; "What?" He heard, "This is the police. What's going on down there?" The man replied; "I'm checking out the rear axle, it's busted." The cop replied; "Well, you might as well check your brakes too while you're down there, - because your truck rolled down the hill 5 minutes ago."

could the black and white quibble all started when he tried to take off ze-bra ?
