Paul,  I am thinking of getting an alloy spacer made to finalise my
flexdrive.  It has to bolt onto the 6 bolts that hold the flexplate
to the E shaft (or is that 8 bolts?)   So it has to be a circular
plate (spacer) that is approx 30mm high which then holds my cushion
drive up from the flexplate by that distance.  Probably gotten
everyone confused by now, but the question is who can do this drawing
for me so it can be fed into a CNC mill.  My mates here are too busy
at the moment and could take up to 6 weeks then  the wait to get it
done.  It is very basic, and uncomplicated, so to speed things up I
am looking elsewhere at the moment.

Make a pencil and paper sketch and scan it as a jpg. Send it to me as
I have the bolt circle diameter on those six bolts that go in the
rear counter weight and I can make an IGES you can send to the
machine shop. Send me a picture of the rubber coupling your using as
well. While you are at it buy Rhino. Once you get used to it you will
wonder how you ever got along with out it :-)

The tolerances appear so close between components in the photos that
there appears to be no place for the elastic media to go; the coupling
will essentially be in hydraulic-lock ... not be able to absorb any
energy.  Am I missing something?

Robin Berglund

The elastic media is the red stuff. We can drill holes in it
to make it softer if necessary.
