option 3 - a 'low-profile' design that would easily fit between
the PSRU
and engine. Under 1.25" would work I think, but someone will
need to
measure this to be sure.
Hi
Ernest,
I took a (bad) pic
of this yesterday, and estimated some measurements as well.
The minimum distance
between the spinning parts of the RD-1 dampener plate and the rear of the
drive mounting plate is about 5/16". This is at the end of the four bolts
that attach the dampener plate to the flex plate.
The max distance is
about 1-3/8", which is inside about a 6 inch diameter.
You would really need a
dampener that's off the engine to measure. The only problem on drive
mounting plate side is the heads of the long AN-3 bolts that hold the drive in
place. The plate is 1/2" thick I believe, and Tracy might allow you to
mill a recess to let the heads be flush with the back side of the plate.
You'd have to ask him. It would also be convenient if some of those bolts
could be used to mount the stator, which would mean you wouldn't have to recess
them.
I should be receiving a
new RD-1C for the single rotor project in the near future, and could make better
measurements then.
Cheers,
Rusty (rain clearing at
least temporarily)
