[QUOTE="oexing, post: 109818, member: 1493"] Vibrac, as far as I could see from the picture in the Spares Co catalogue the "new" ESA design was a mere correction for fighting the chipping edges due to poor matching faces. This is absolutely useless to achieve a real shock absorbing effect. There is not the least progressive action in it so it will slam onto its end faces as it did for decades - with consecutive damage to the dynamo gears and breaking triplex chains like before. Someone in the Spares Co asked for drawings of my BMW inspired mod for the Vincent engine. I believe that was only a faint reaction instead of just remaining silent about that matter. How can I supply a drawing of a three dimensional shape - that I did not even have for my own machining ?? I offered to explain the thinking and method about manufacturing the assembly -one side is simple to do, the corresponding part needs an electrical dividing head and CNC for economic machining. I could send my alu test set for getting an idea about my logic - no reaction so far. Just because being ever so curious I made up a slip clutch hub for the dynamo sprocket for discussions and maybe some would like to copy that when running the old ESA and heavy dynamos from the triplex chain. I will post some photos next days. Vic [/QUOTE]
