Default Lightening Flywheel

Does any one have the drawing that was in the S.O.S.S. magazine many years ago that has the dimensions for machining the Model A Flywheel for lightening it. I have seen a post with a thumb nail picture of it, but some of the info is cut off.

If you want it done right, do it yourself. Then you know who to blame when it's wrong.

Dave,

Something to keep in mind that there are two versions of the SSOS article.


The first one has an error that affects the safety of the flywheel if it is used to make the cuts.

I used to have the article page in PDF have to look at the house to see if it survived the computer crash.

Dave,

The only one that I have is a photo a fellow took with cell phone and posted on old FB. Not real clear on those plus/minus small printing.

If you right click on photo and print 8 1/2 by 11.

This covers both Model A and B flywheels.

If you print on 8 1/2 by 11 it is pretty good. Might try using landscape maybe it would be better.

I used an HP 4050 laser printer with 600 by 600 if you can find a 1200 by 1200 it might be more clear. Some of the ink jets have higher resolution.
