This one is for FP

You seem to love drilling holes in things, Came across this image and thought you would enjoy. I have not seen a picture of a holy generator on your desk in front of your computer yet... yet.
Vince may be able to relate, pretty sure he loves drilling holes in things also. Glad I have not seen those pictures.

Thanks for posting that picture, Paul!

I have a baked generator, well . . . I baked it trying to remove the inner pulley half . . . that I'll open up and look inside.

If the magnets aren't in the way, I think that a few holes is absolutely the way to go. A few turns in the lathe to brighten up the housing and then push the COOL button and call it done.

I've had an idea to build an alternative engine for the coupe using all of my old ABARTH accessories. I've finally completed a set of "Ol Skool" aluminum pulleys and matching, generator backing plate. The drilled generator casing will just finish it off perfectly. A few ABARTH tags/decals/plates will complete the illusion.

SWEET ! ! !

And check out that latch set up for the deck lid!

... and the size of that engine pulley. That fan's spinning s l o w l y.

I grabbed the picture from an advert selling this race car. Wish I had saved more, oh well. Can anyone guess at what the lines running into the fan housing are for? Oil Cooler?

Yeah, that's gotta be from the internal cooler (or its couplings) to an external oil filter or cooler.

I was wondering that, too. Never seen anything like it. As if they're pulling oil off of the TOP of the oil cooler, where there are no connections!

I'm assuming that this engine is for drags only, because it'll never last as a rally or road course car....

Those lines probably go down to this block off plate.

My understanding is that the real dragster bugs do not use a fan at all. Just run the thing for ten seconds and turn it off. Sort of. These engines have real short lifetimes. Some only run once. Their's is a very differrnt world.

I found the link browsing back through my history, holy chit I browse for the keyword 'porsche 356' a lot! Here is the link to the car, for some reason I was looking at race cars for sale ;)
