Remember when we cut it down it had some high and low spots. I tried to do the sandind down with a chunk of T angle that was 3" wide and 1" thick. I kept getting a low spot I could not work out. Before I trashed it and took too much off I stopped. I figured I needed a flat plate to sand it on. We had a bunch of these 1/4 inch plates we were tossing out at work and I got to thinking I used a counter bore about 3/4 dia, and put a hole in the center. Cam wanted in on the action so I figured he could hold the drill as well as I can It took a little while bu he got it done. We did a quick test fit on the input shaft to be sure it had some space so it didnt screw up the shaft.

We then cleaned it up and put some sanding discs on it and stood the trans on end with the input shaft in the new hole. We spun it a couple of times and checked. it took about 30 spins and the trans fits on the adapt, plate with no gaps. If you ever cut another one let me know and Ill send it up to you. I would think it may be a good thing to use on a regular trans to make sure the front face is true. I am not sure how they mount though.

I did a quick test fit. You may want to make your next head a little smaller or move it up some.

I was just thinking I should have kept the dust from sanding this thing down and tried to light it off. Isnt it suposed to be mag.

Mag, Aluminum, they both are oxidizers.

Aluminum is the number one ingredient in Thiakol solid rocket fuel.

Burns gud!
