Work In Progress - Updated


The second shaft log has been sleeved. Dr Doug has been busy on the port engine freeing up the frozen engine mounts and aligning the shaft, strut and engine.


The shaft packing gland has been taken apart and acid bathed, cleaned, repacked and replaced. New hose and stainless clamps - double clamped of course.


The strut was removed and re-bedded to the correct angle for perfect alignment.


Ron at Leading Edge Propellor in Mission has tuned the original Michigan wheels. The are date stamped 1968 and in really nice condition and now balanced beautifully.
