Yes, a great toy/tool, if it works ok then it should provide " hours of fun ".

I will get pictures soon, I'm going home in three weeks time.

There are lots more. There will be cheap ways of doing it. Having something heavy and on bearings is a good start.

The guy made both stubshafts the same so the disc and starter ring can go at either end an can go disc first or starter ring first. This is great, it frees up the design of the chassis.

There's the roller, now the chassis is going to be made out of these two H beams. I'm going HEAVY, obviously. Beams going away for blasting.

That's all for now.

I am impressed.
I can't wait to see what your turbo machine does :geek:
Turns out there is a local guy with a dyno and I gave him a sweet deal on some parts :D
Soooo... I will be going to get a baseline reading before long 8-)
