Thanks Norm,
That's the measurement I'll aim at when the new boring bar kit arrives. Probably a few mm out either way would not matter much.
I have a workable version hopefully of the Powertorque sliding plate made. Its a bit rough just made by welding some extra bits on to the center of an old Powertorque base which I cut out with the grinder. It will do to see if there are any other problems when I start her up. If it all works as I hope I'll use it for a template for a new one of 4 or 5mm steel plate .Actually it does not look too bad. Can not actually see very much of it when the engine is installed.
I have left the old FC sliding plate untouched. Hopefully can put an FC back on if ever needed although that might now need a new pulley. I'm just not to keen to make too many non-reversible changes. Look what Norm is doing to his FC 24 which at one stage had a Briggs on it.
I wonder if anyone has ever seen an original Victa Powertorque 24? I would imagine they have done something similar to what I am doing. There is a crossways slot in the base in front of the sliding plate on mine almost right where it needs to be for the muffler.
All the best
Jeff
