SR3500 Fus-409/Pulley BB-128
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:38 pm
Hi guys and gals!
Now for something totally different! I have a question for you SR builders,
that I would like some replies to! Looks like it's time for me to get some
list usage the other way, with this new project underway!
I am sorting out all the stuff that is done and still needs to be done to
this SR2500/3500 I have come to own, so I can start "tearing" into it.
Before I go drilling those big 1/2" cable clearance holes through the fins
front attach bracket (scary looking stuff aye!) I have noticed that the two
BB-128 pulleys that are mounted to the Fus-409 brackets are so big in
diameter that the previous builder had to shim the brackets out from the
bulkhead for the pulleys to clear it enough to roll and that the predrilled
cotter pin (cable retainer) holes are not useable. There is not enough
material, out far enough, to drill new cotter holes. I think I remember
seeing a note from Elaine in shipping about a change in pulley diameters
from old stock to new stock that may have been addressing this, but I can't
find it. What have those of you that are beyond this point ran into here??
Change of pulleys, mfg new brackets, extend the top bracket tab with a
couple add ons to allow for a new cotter hole, or ??.
Thanks,
Wayne G. O'Shea
