ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

[49dimes]

Wont be much happening this weekend on getting the 112 mounted up. Still havent made stand offs or installed the remaining blind nuts or looked for 10-32s in various lengths.... Plus, that dreaded job comes before anything... Including Satuday work. OT is good, but dammit, I dont want every weekend.

Which dreaded job? Mounting or work? lol Hey... I did finally get the 70 mounted up.

Elbow deep in 2 5000# lift tables that have hydraulic leaks. All brand new from the manuf. Should be no leaks. Just trivial stuff for the leaks. Have I mentioned I dont like this job........ Havent liked it from day 1. But they have paid my medical bills and so forth. So, I really cannot complain.

Looks like Im going to be able to make my standoffs tomorrow!

Getting the process rolling!!

I'm taking 1" round bar stock down to .75". Id like to keep it at 1", but the weight offset is greater than I like.

Got'er done! 3 hr of lathe work. I give myself an extra .125" on the length of the stand off. So, total length is 1.625". And my tolerances are within .005" 1.622-1.627".

Now, it is time to install the remaining blind nuts and motor!

Nice work Chris!! I like that they are threaded.

The remaining blind nuts are posing to be problematic in the firewall..... Beet will make me do things I will regret. But, I think I am onto something that will whoop up on it.

Mounted up, but still need to trim the firewall for Mr. Carb. A "yes, please" pic coming in a few minutes.

Just looks naked with no carb on the bottom of the engine!
