Got a bit of bench work in last night, I bought the generator/alternator a while ago but hadn't got around to making the mount for it, this was a nice sitting down job
I found a nice spot for it and noticed the flat area on top of the timing case was just about spot on, I havn't fitted the aluminium case yet so did a bit of measuring up and drilled & tapped 4 x 3/8" unc holes in it to accept a plate.
Next the plate was made in 3/8" aluminium. I also cut up some 1" x 3/8" plate and welded on some ears for mounts. Then bolted the plate to the timing case, I slotted the bolt holes to allow a bit of adjustment for fine tuning.
Next I needed an adjusting arm, I was just abut to start plasma cutting a bit of 3/8" plate when I noticed an old shifter stick hanging on the wall and thought why not
A bit of chopping about at the end and it fitted a treat
.Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
