flywheel holder doodad,

[spents]

came across an old g320 crank today thats all out of whack,
so decided to press it apart



then cut the stubs off the counter weights, will also save the rod and the bearing cos there still fine,



just done this so i have a flywheel and clutch perch holder in case i want to lighten a flywheel or face off a pum flywheel ,



or face off a clutch perch etc,
tapers hold flywheel or clutch perch bob on and true in the lathe ,

On the lathe I use I can hold on the OD of the flywheel for facing the pull start lugs off. But for balancing etc that'll be perfect spents

yeh i could get the outside diameter of a pum flywheel kev, but a finned one no chance cos my lathes only a diidy one ,
when i've lightened flywheels in the past i've always done it on my mini mill, takes a while to set up though, needs to be spot on,
ybh its just another couple of tools or holders that can be chucked in my box and will come in handy along the ways
