Regulator Bracket

	Here I am trimming off the overhang and squaring things up. See the problem yet?
	Duh. The bracket can't bend down from the edge of the regulator and still be narrow enough to pick up the generator mounting bolts. ECO* approved, I draw new lines just wide enough to allow the end bell bearing to fit up in between the narrow tabs. * Engineering Change Order.
	OK, I went back the bandsaw and cut the 4 little areas out to narrow up the mount so it fits the generator. Even my rapidly disintegrating Olympus digital camera has enough resolution left to show that I had already bent one tab down before realizing my mistake and then smashed it back flat again. Now that I am trashing the Olympus in favor if the higher resolution, simpler and better laid out Fuji coolpix 2300 ($205 from NY), you can expect to make out even more of my mistakes in the future. After cutting the 4 little squares out I bend the tabs down by hammering on them while the mount was in a vise. The distance between the tab is wide enough to clear the generator end bell bearing and here I am measuring for where the outward bend should be. In retrospect I should have done this outward bend first and the bend you see already done should follow that. You'll see why.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape. We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box. (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages. Minimal graphics and no audio without request. Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content. We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad. We believe engineering and technology are an art. Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking. Feel free to use the files and materials on this site. Good luck with your projects.
