I had another whoopsey yesterday, I made up a cast iron disc and it was obviously a bit tight because it cracked when I was pressing the boss into it. Wouldn't have that problem with steel but I didn't have anything here that I could use. I would prefer steel so that I can weld it to the boss so it can't come loose. I have to come up with something because I want to drop the slasher off there that I have here and then I can pick the 600 and bring it back here
Ok so here is another thought, please tell me if it is a dumb idea. I'm thinking of sitting a boss in the pulley and pouring lead into it. Not sure how many grams I could get into it, I might also have to weld a ring to the top of the pulley so it comes up close to the underside of the fan wheel so I can fill that as well. This idea is going to make it very hard to remove the boss if it ever has to come off. This will prove our theory one way or another Thoughts?
