Stator cover guard.

You need to stop by more often, Deej.

Come back to KLX land.

Fine looking workmanship. Wish there was at least *ONE* person who worked on building my new house that had that kind of attention to detail and work ethic...

So, when are you starting production on them?

I want to run it for a bit and see if there are any bugs. I really don't have a great way to mass produce them either. I do have one idea that might work out, but I will have to look into it more. I could make each one by hand but I don't think you guys want to pay $80 a piece for them . I'll keep you posted.

There are plenty of CNC shops out there that could make up a few dozen for fairly cheap. Most shops like a 3D CAD file to program to. I can help you with that if need be.

Thanks for the offer Cmott. I work for a big place that used to let you do govt. work like this. One off stuff at least. I want to see how this prototype work, then go from there. I have a su****ion that it might need to be opened up some in a couple places.

Cool

Hey Dan, Nice work. If you need a test monkey, I'd be happy to try one out.

Put 30 hard miles on the rebuilt engine, and the prototype case saver. As I suspected, the chain is flinging off on deceleration and rubbing the case saver. I'll open it up some and try again. Happy to report that the engine/trans had no issues.
FYI I'm looking into having a number of them water-jet cut.

Dan, that case saver is so tiny and fragile that I doubt you have any ability to take off any material for the chain contact without the thing turning to dust.
