DIY timing wheel
Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 10:42 am
Hello All!
As with everyone else on the planet, COVID-19 has made it difficult for me to get things done.
Members Seekhunt and ecurbruce, thank you for your kindness, and my apologies for my delay in replying.
Here's my thrown-together from junk-in-the-pail timing apparatus. The only changes I have planned(and never seem to address) are chamfering the lower edge, below the two 'windows', so as to have a bit better view of the degree CD.
I was never a fan of a piece of wire pointer; could never seem to get it to stay still. Hence, the solid window in a strip of aluminum. The holes were placed offset by design, it gives two points of reference against the CD.
Pertaining the CD; it's just run through the printer. I usually write on it, then a shot of brake cleaner, and its clean! I can start and run the engine, without oil all over the place. It certainly does not look very impressive in the toolbox, but, when I can work, this set-up does the job.
Hope someone finds this useful.
