Okay guys. I have a couple of VW updates.
First, I have installed and have been test flying my new series three reduction drive. As I reported earlier the new redrive is a serpentine belt drive that slips in one direction at low RPMs and absorbs harmonic pulses at higher RPMs. The VW redrive is smooth throughout all RPM ranges and will even idle smooth down 700 RPM. This is a major improvement over the old redrive. Since there is some slippage there is a more limited life to the belts but there is a wear indicator that shows you when it is time to replace the belts. It isn't known yet what the life is but it is at least a hundred hours. The belt change requires the removal of only one bolt, it is a one inch bolt but there is only one.
Second, I've been working with Kolb on behalf of Rick Lewis to have Kolb to produce a VW mount for his Mark IIIX. They now have the production jigs to produce this VW mount for other MKIIIs. Hopefully Rick will keep us up to date on his progress. I also hope he will build a bit faster than Big Lar.
