I think he is building his new 30,000 square ft. warehouse. I heard he
went public last week and now has Malcom Smith working for him. The
internet does strange things to people. Don't be surprised if he shows up
at his shop in a limo.

instead

What's happened to Fred? I have written to him a couple of times in the
last week or so, but no response. Maybe the Moab preparations are keeping
him busy.
Later all.

[b]I haven't gone "public" yet but I have thought about going to a secluded beach in Tahiti. Sorry if I have seem absent lately, but my business is consuming most all my free time. The rally preparations are taking up the rest.[/b] [b]Malcolm Smith is going to be in Moab the week before the rally. If any one knows Malcolm or has "connections", put in a good word for us and invite him to stay over for dinner. Wouldn't that be a hoot! Dinner with a living legend.[/b] [b]

Yep, Fred is staying busy trying to run his shop while I have him gofering
for Rally stuff. He is stocking up with all kinds of goodies for the rally
and there should be some cool stuff in that lil 'ol shop of his.

stator woes

OK so the stator is installed. Well it doesn't fit properly!
Many things here so read along and don't get lost.
First I installed the Heli-coils, nicely done if I may add.
Second I installed the stator.
Well the Electex stator has a thicker core than the stocker. SO the stock
bolts are just long enough to get a couple-few threads in. THAT'S why they
stripped in the first place. Well go buy yourself some longer bolts to fit
there, cause it'll save you some headache. Don't bother trying to get 8.5
ft-lbs out of those stock bolts, even with a heli-coil it ain't gonna happen.
I got to 7.5-8 and whoops one started to feel sorta like it was gonna pull
out again. FOOEY FUDGE DARN AND RATS all over again. So I backed them all
out, put on RED loctite and sent them back in. Future.... use two
heli-coils per hole and get longer bolts. Better yet... get Electrex to
make it right. Their instructions suck by the way. I am half way inclined
for things mechanical and electrical so I figured out what I'm doing.
Ok so the core is thicker and the heads of the bolts stick up past the
stock position. Well when you put it together the heads mash on the
magneto shaft. COME ON ELECTREX!! A quick hit with the dremel will fix it
just fine. HHUUMMPFF!
I had that cover all nice and clean from my drilling and tapping
operations, I didn't want a dremel in there messing things up.
Well that's off my chest.... Thanks for reading.
If you are planning on installing the Electrex stuff, plan on not having it
be a drop in replacement. There a good deal of work ahead of you. I don't
mind, but I just didn't anticipate it.
Have a great night.
