Paul,
         Progress on the PSRU. As usual all is a compromise between m,any
things, weight, reliability, and of course cost.  If cost was not a
consideration then it becomes a lot simpler, but it is uppermost in my mind.
I have finally found a bearing that is ideal for the prop shaft. It is a
needle roller with a thrust ball race each way and in comparison not much
heavier than alternatives.   Yes I do aim to sell clones of the PSRU as the
set up cost is considerable.  To do "one of" would be just a manual job and
then walk away. I feel that there is a demand for an effective, lighter
weight and reasonably priced PSRU, hence my aim to produce the same.  Then I
am looking at producing a FWF  package to capitalise on all the grief I
endured to get my package working.  Now I know what works and what doesn't,
which will save future rotary powered buffs that grief.  Again it must be
affordable.  Still a works in progress.  Neil.

   Oh yes, Paul, do you have the measurements for the bolt holes where the
flex plate bolts onto the E shaft?  Need that for the flex coupling which
again is another $200 just for the coupling if it will fit without
modification.  That makes over $500 for the gear set and flex coupling  with
freight.  Freight is always the the silent killer in cost.

Neil.

Later. I need to get these ignition systems ready to race next
week at Sebring Fl. We also have to get there.
