Motor-Motor mount body2324 viewsAnd a piece of old iron pipe from the same place.

Adapter Plate alignment2316 viewsI had a big aluminum plate made into a bell-housing adapter plate, and another big aluminum plate for the Impulse 9 motor.
In order to get everything lined up with the transmission shaft properly, we built an alignment tool.
It fit snugly into the hole in the bell housing where the transmission mounts, and was the same diameter as the centering ring on the motor.

Flywheel adapter work contd2302 viewsThe back of the adapter is almost done, getting ready to bore the hole.

Boring coupler shaft holes2250 viewsThis time we wanted to be SURE our boring bar wouldn't flex, so we built a much stronger one.
We also are using much better cutting tips.

Examining the result2243 viewsHere we are looking at the result, and finding that the motors had NOT pressed far enough into the coupler.
We had a 1/2" of extra space to deal with.
We were going to just add a 1/2" spacer, until we did some measuring, and found that the motors were NOT coupled straight. There was a definite wobble.

|
Shortening the coupler2230 viewsWe did start with a piece of shaft that was too long, and decided it would be easier to cut off the excess with a saw, rather than cutting it all away with the lathe.

Adapter Plate alignment, contd 22190 viewsThen we mounted the Bell Housing adapter plate.

Bigger holes in the Impulse 92146 viewsWe decided that the rather small bolt holes in the end bells of the Impulse 9" motors were just too small.
So we drilled and tapped all of them out to a 7/16" bolt thread.
