Managed to get another pesky job off the list

My mate Allan milled my spacer plate for me which saved a bundle of time, cheers Allan.








Once I had the spacer plate it enabled me to setup the blower drive, The bottom pulley had already been sorted which just left the top puley, a straight edge was put on the bottom pulley and I found that the top pulley was 2.250" away from the existing snout flange, the solution was to turn up a 2.250" aluminium hub spacer on the lathe, While i was there I drilled and tapped a centre hole to accept an old 1/2" UNF 12 point ARP bolt to make turning it over easier.
I then drilled and tapped 6 holes 3/8" UNC as I intended to bolt the hub to the flange and then bolt the pulley to the hub, changed my mind in the end and finally used 6 x 3/8" x 3.5" UNC bolts through the complete assembly. The hub is a press fit into the pulley, Pics explain it better than I can write :whistle:
