Shaft Centering Tool - specs
Hi Bill,
I’m not quite sure but I’m going to try to find it and I’ll mic it and get ID and OD measurements.
The one thing to remember is that alignment was done after a brand new Cutlass bearing was installed first, so there was no shaft slop at the Cutlass bearing.
I also checked prop on and prop off as I was curious how this weight might affect the alignment. In my case it did not appear to make a difference.
I used a new shaft that was intended for a C&C that had to be cut.
After my shaft was cut and re-keyed to a shorter length to accommodate the new Drive saver, I did find a Small burr On the edge of the keyway that could have scratched the alignment tool.
So it probably would be good check with a soft cloth before you slide your shaft into the centering tool and make sure there’s no burrs or anything outstanding that would cause damage to the tool. Delrin is pretty hard but I think it could be gouged by a sharp burr.
In my case I just took strips of crocus cloth and polished out the burr.
So maybe some industrious individual could machine these for us, as we all know engine alignment is a “ booger bear”
Cheers!
Elizabeth
