[NSRCA-discussion] Nose-ring & new email

[Jim Woodward]

Hi All,
 
I wanted to share something I did on my nose-ring the other night that
made a thrust adjustment pretty easy.  I need to add some downthrust and
using the Budd Mount (rotational dampening), I had to add a shim under
the motor mount to get the angle I wanted.  The angle looked nice and
actually centered the spinner a little better so I did not feel the need
to redrill for a new mount position (shim was fine).  However, the
original nose-ring positon  stopping the small change from taking place
once everything was lined up.  So I wanted to redrill the nose-ring
attachment but when in the new position, the "new" position was about
1/2 the diameter off the original holes.  I did not want to "slot" the
holes, so what was I to do?  
 
I found that if I used one of the original nose ring mounting holes, I
could position the motor where I wanted and the other "new" hole was now
about 2-diameter away from its original location.  Seeing this, I simply
measured and drilled only one side a new hole, and the new thrust was
set!  Easy to do and took just a short time.  
 
Thanks,
Jim W.
