Hi Paul!
Here's a couple pics of the acrylic damper assem mockup. Presently, the
original 6.9" diameter for the damper section looks to be a little too
small when using the 1/2x1x7/8 blocks, as there is conflict with the large
washer ring. The image shows the blocks standing on their 7/8 side, instead
of the one inch side, and it's still a bit too large.
What do you suggest is the next step?

Looking good Ed.
The shaft project has run into a snag. I need to get the material back.
Michael that owns all those big lathes was forced to get a full time
job to pay the bills. He just was not getting enough biz to keep the
doors open. I'll see if I can get in touch with him tomorrow after
his work. I may be able to cut them to length with a carbide chop
saw I have. Jim thinks he can do it with his lathe. Just not as fast
as Michael.

As to the flex plate what rubber blocks are you using?
I assumed we would use custom molded rubber blocks to fit.
At least that is what I said in an old message in Sept.

lots of snips....
"Now it is possible to design the concave rubber blocks with enough expansion
clearance so no axial force will be generated."

OK I think I have it figured out. What you are saying is the 1" by .5" rectangular tubing
is too big to fit the 6.9 inch diameter and the stock steel clamp ring.
I probably made a mistake on measuring the clamp ring diameter. What number do you
have on that?
We can do one of two things. Cut down the clamp ring plate in a lathe or go up on the 6.9" dimension
slightly. What do you think?
