Re: AIR Pump prototype failure (smacko)
Air pump, well...TODAYS update is that I rang the guy, told him what I'd discovered (I was diplomatic 'cause at the end of the day-yelling gets you no-where) and told him I was now left with no choice than to ask for my money back "Can't do that" he reckons...wanted me to put it down to experiance more or less "write it off". He says to tell anyone else "it can't be done" - very positive attitude huh?
BUT a guy from our club (Who I never realised has an engineering firm) is making one for me from stainless steel - AT THE RIGHT PRICE!!! :yesnod:

Re: AIR Pump prototype failure (smacko)
How about putting the troublesome shaft solid in the air pump, so it will not rotate, and sticking a pulley with an integral bearing on the end - bit like on the pulley eliminator on my site, but using the old air pump as the bearing support, rather than the gadget shown there.
:confused:
Looks to me like the two bearings at opposite ends in your present design, are not quite in alignment, this would circumvent that issue entirely.

The 'Engineers' SHOULD have thought about that, long before 'laymen' did and certainly after first prototype failed!!

help
On the standard design below;
Can anyone tell me the length required for support arm to alternator please?
Also, the measurements along main bracket where it bolts to (how far along?)
THANKS!
