[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Need Clutch Plate Hub

[Ramon Spontelli]

Bob,

 

The welding and all sounds like overkill to me.

 

Find a piece of hose that will fit over the input shaft and use a hose clamp
to attach it.  Then use progressively smaller pieces of hose, pipe, dowels,
whatever, and more hose clamps, to step it down to something you can chuck
up in your drill.

 

The result would be a FORD kludge of the highest magnitude, AND . . .  It
just might work!

 

Ramon

Hi,

I am trying to think of a way to make an adaptor to be able to use a 1/2"
power drill to turn my newly assembled gearbox fast enough to bench test the
overdrive I just finished assembling. I have been turning it over by hand
with a vise-grip wrench clamped to the input shaft and have been able to
create some pressure in the accumulator but obviously not nearly enough to
make it operate the OD and I tire quickly..... ;-)

I was thinking that if I used the splined hub from a clutch plate I could
weld a piece of pipe to it and then a piece of 1/2" dowel to the other end.
Anyone have other suggestions?

Later,
Bob
