Hey Paul

I would be interested in one of these flex plates also.

Bob Mears

We have done further R&D.

This is the latest and final version (I hope).

Mark will be testing it on his 3 rotor p-port shortly.

Here is how it looks. If you want one of the couplings prepare to send me a spline plate. Either new from ebay ($37) or the one you bought from Tracy and your input shaft. I can add another pin to the gear and cut the drums off the new spline plate and machine it to fit. I will mod the input shaft. Very little heat will be required as braze will work.

You will have to drill out the 1/4 inch bolts holding the ring gear bulkhead and replace them with 5/16th bolts.

This will fix the gear box problems showing up in the last 5 years or so with the higher power rotaries. Turbo, p-port and 3 rotor.

Mark. I am buying the material today. It will take a few days to water jet cut some of the parts. When they are done I will send you a kit for welding and testing.

Paul please puy me down for one too as I'll be changing to higher horsepower with the p port eventually -

Alex


I'm in for one too, when you finish testing and work out any glitches?

Marc W. (PS, got the oil pan, looks good)

Got the front and rear 4130 round bulkheads in the water jet cutter today. Should be shipping Mark's kit by Friday.
