  Hi Paul & Group,

  I'm going to use the stock Renesis alternator on
  my Bush Caddy project, but I can't find a supplier
  for a larger pulley.  Does anyone know of a supplier,
  or have any information on what other pulley might
  work?  I have found sites that sell the eccentric
  shaft under speed pulleys but I don't want to
  change that pulley just the alternator.

  Thanks,

  In the over all scheme of things the speed
  of the alternator should be down on the list.
  Have you some info that suggest the alt.
  will fail if not slowed down?

 Bob,
 I used a 4" alternator pulley from Canton Racing.

 Mark is using a 20B which has a lower redline than the
 RX8 engine.

 Mark, how is the p-port sealing coming?

Paul,

I've had some persistent slow leaks at a couple of the 1/4-20 bolts on the
sealing plates.  In addition to using rtv on the bolt threads, which I had
done initially, I also chamfered the 1/4" holes in the plates and installed
o-rings along with button-head bolts.  This seems to have solved the slow
leaks.

So no 2 inch O-rings inside the sealing blocks necessary?

Great. Hopefully you will be flying it soon.
If so I would like to stop in after Sun N Fun and
take some action movies. Take off and low alt. high speed
pass down the runway.

BTW I think this stuff might be better for threads and under
bolt heads. Much lower viscosity.

How is Bobby doing with the super charged 2 rotor RV10?
