Thanks to everybody for your thoughts and suggestions. I talked to a =
welder today and he's going to come by Sat. morning to weld the slide =
hammer rod to the broken dowel. Tonight, when I got home from work I =
lit up my small oxy/acetylene outfit and heated that dowel red hot and =
let it cool naturally. Hoped it'd take some of the hardness out and =
leave it annealed. Nope. No difference, just ruined another bit, so =
I'll wait for the welder.
Rick, I agree with you. There's no question that concern, even =
subconsciously, about the safety of that drive has been a part of my =
foot-dragging. (could laziness be another ??) In any case, I'm waiting =
for some parts, so it should be back together next week sometime and =
I'll run it up again. If I have more problems with it, it'll go in the =
trash. As you say, there comes a time.......even for people like =
Stub-Bourne to call 'er a day and move on. BTW, originally the idea was =
that the little bit of slack in the chain would bell out at speed and =
give a measure of shock absorption. Prob'ly not, but we'll see. =

Larry,
Are you drilling the dowel out to a larger size or just center drilling to
remove the pin? Have you considered using a carbide end mill to finish the job?
An end mill won't center itself like a drill bit but if the hole is almost
finished it shouldn't be a problem. Just a thought...

Do my ears deceive me? Is Larry actually considering thoughts of DEFEAT
regarding the vee dub on Vamoose?
On Barnstormers, RIGHT NOW, there is a 912 for sale.
Less than 100 hours, comes off Ralph Kew's Mark-III.
$12,000. You could be flying next month.
But then again, what fun is a bolt-on, go-fly, reliable engine? If you
finished Vamoose, then what would be left to talk about on this List?

Dennis K/Gang:
For sure!
Without Larry's dune buggy engine and redrive, there would be very
little info to share on this list, unless one wanted solder some
throttle cables. Was wondering...........at what point in the life of
my little airplane am I supposed to buy solder and do my cables?????
Undoubtedly, haven't reached that plateau yet.

Defeat ?? Whazzat ?? Nope........redirection, but probably not to a 912.
I'd like to have one, but just can't afford one. That redrive does get one
more chance, and, far as I know, the engine is just fine. Do
not Archive.

Looking on as a casual observer, seems you may have invested enough
time and money to buy a quality used 912, and had 1,500 or more hours
of flight time on your mkIII.
Maybe next year you can give rides in your VW powered mkIII at MV.
Sure hope so. Should have all the bugs worked out of the bug motor by
then.
Take care,
