Pietenpol-List: GN-1 nose bowl for corvair

I have not posted for a while so I thought I would update with some pictures.Using a corvair engine with a non standard starter meant a different location forthe alternator. Looked at a rear mount, even the new direct coupling to theharmonic balancer but my engine is too close to the firewall. Settled on alocation low on the left side facing aft out of the cooling airstream. Firstshows the the mounting hardware which weighs in at 7 oz. Next shows the location.I am pretty happy with how it worked. Bracket is .080 4130 and has slottedholes so it can be added to a Dan 5th bearing without removing the ring gear.The spacer comes off of the lower bolt hole on the head and holds the otherend of the alternator.--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/0829 ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 nose bowl for corvair
