The wheel (mono) carries a little unnecessary weight. You can lighten the disk without compromising reliability and the cast marks can be turned off the rims (see attached). Polishing is optional. I
Well if that doesn't slake your thirst for thrills, take a look at these fantastic images of a really brave guy. Makes flying aeroplanes seem somehow dull ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYw4meRWG

Hello Rob, I recently had to strip out and refit the CS10 and had to face the same problem so know exactly what you are up against. There is a solution. Ideally you need a trusty assistant - though I

I would be very interested to hear how successful this is once fitted and tested (either on or off list). With regards to oil over-temp should the water coolant be lost, I think you might be surprise
Gilles et al, ..... and I respectfully bow to your testing and experience. The importance of the coolant system is certainly not lost on me. While you are probably not aware of it, I have done a lot
I did a similar thing some years back when building an alloy tank. I used a series of solid-state liquid level sensors (data sheet attached) that incorporate a photo diode and photo transistor moulde
