(1 Comments) The Yahoo F M C Group site has a RVS bulletin (#001) outlining driveline assembly and proper alignment of the transmission and differential. The copy is a bit fuzzy but readable. | RVS-001 refers to a tool for the trans./diff. alignment. The tooling built for #400 is a bit crude but effective. (At least the vibration went away!) | The bulletin calls for alignment within 1/16th inch. Tools must be adjusted to equal length. (Face of flange to tip.) | The MARK-I version on the left and in previous photos was hastily fabricated with little consideration for ease of reproduction. |
(1 Comments) Selection of components for the Mark-II was a bit more thoughtful. Lowe's had all of this "stuff". A $20 bill may leave some small change but not enough for coffee. | This standard floor drain has an almost perfect 4-1/4 diameter flange. | ||
This bushing size was selected because the 1/8th inch female iron pipe (npt) thread size uses the same tap drill size as the 3/8-16 tap used for the threaded "ready-rod". | Tap right through the pipe threads and into the smooth bore below. There is plenty of material there although not much is required for this application. | Cut to length and debur threads. | |
