Hi all,

Just wanted to update on Betty.

So to remove the rotor i had to fabricate my own removal tool. Pictured below. The rear engine mounting bolt is the same thread and pitch so i just cut one shorter.  Worked perfectly.

I also found out that the ring gear in behind the rotor is slightly different as well.

Got them changed over and put it all back together.

Filled up fluids and fuel tank etc back on.

Kicked it in the guts and guess what happened?

 

It fired right up and settled straight into a very happy burble.

Absolutely love the sound.

So a big learning curve and wouldn’t have been able to do it without all of your help. Thanks so much.
