• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I truly am totally nuts.

Ever play with the rotors and get your finger caught in them? Sucks. I got my finger bitten by those gears hurt a little bit LOL.

Yes, I nearly chopped my finger off. I was running them with an electric drill at the time too. I probably should have got stitches.

Hey, now looking at your picture more, is that just a bushing in the plate or is that a roller bearing there?

Roller bearing. Looks like to reaasemble, press the bearing to the shaft, then press the shaft/rotor into the plate. I can make a press for it no problem too. If it works out, I may be able to offer a recoating/rebuilding service for the rotor packs.

I looked at the pricing of who's offering it, and it's outrageous. If I can set-up a core program, I may be able to make it fairly reasonable. there are also low drag bearings available for this case, so there could be some performance benefits.
 
Well, I think it's something that needs to be done. Cores are getting harder to find mint. Be nice to be able to find some extra performance in there somehow also.
 


Let me ask this, as Im just curious and sorta thinking out loud. Would it be better or easier or some other advantage to coat the inside of the housing rather than the rotors themselves? Isnt the purpose of the coating to tighten up clearances?
 
gun drill each lobe of the rotors, balance em, slot em for teflon strips, coat the gears...low drag bearings...where will it stop! madness i say madness lol
 
Most if not all the great minds and inventors were considered mad at some point:)




But they died before anyone would deem them a genus, so take above with a grain of salt:th_thumbsup-wink:
 


Ron, now that I see what you are doing I wished I kept my 20K mile stripped rotors. Everyone said that having the coating stripped would cause you to loose boost so my were changed out for a set from Ed. There was absolutely no difference in boost level. Had that possibility occured to me, I would have kept my stock rotors.:th_shakinghead2:
 
question on the rotors is there supposed to be alot of play in them when they are removed. i relize that they are supposed to have some. and is there anyone that sells those bearings

nah, you would've found something else to do with them. You might have kept them if Ron was already doing his thing and had him recoat them. I believe you would have done that, but just keep them stripped,.... Just doesn't sound like you.
