Drool. That kind of project is why I bought a mill and lathe. Can't wait to find an excuse to do something like that

Can you show us the tool used to cut the snap ring groove?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, that's neat stuff. Let's hope that solves the problem.

Can you show us the tool used to cut the snap ring groove?

I used a cheap Chinese boring bar ground to the correct width of the snap ring, the one in the tool holder is the one I used and the one on the right is new. I bought a box of these years ago for disposable tooling just for one off jobs like this.

I was looking for a Goodyear gatorback belt and discovered Goodyear Engineered Products are now branded Continental Elite, nobody local carries them and it took me a bit of digging to find the correct one but I finally have everything I need to move forward.

After waiting for parts for the last couple weeks I was able to bolt everything together yesterday and get a measurement for the new fan shroud. Because I have a fluid dampener that sticks out further than the factory pulley I ended up using the longer fan clutch “2779” to push the fan out past it.

RTC Auto Body (the same shop that just completed the paint work on Marv for @OldBeachBob) has the target carrier now, Ryan thinks about 60 days to get it back to me. This is the first time I've had a shop do any type of paint or body work and I was a little apprehensive but with all the other work going on in my shop and winter approaching I was left with little choice if I wanted it done this year.

I believe RTC will do a good job, Ryan seemed excited to get the job in his shop and he appeared willing to deal with my OCD. I’ll try to get out there a few times in the next 60 days for some update photos.
