[NSRCA-discussion] Nose-Rings: O-ring replacement for CHnosering?

[Woodward, Jim]

Thanks Mike,

 

I can get primitive on the O-ring :-)   I was hoping for a McMaster Carr
P/N.  If I find one, I think it would be a good idea for Central to
supply two sizes of O-rings with unit to ensure it fits the motors.

 

Thanks,

Jim

After much discussion, trial and error, the "fix" to this is to gently
remove material from the O ring with a dremel and large drum sander,
until it is a slip fit. You don't want it sloppy, but it should slide on
and off without having to force it. Install with some lithium grease and
you're all set! I've had to do a ton like this.

	Hi Guys,

	A while back Clayton Foster was making the CFE nose-rings and
they always seemed to fit perfectly - snug but allows the engine to
still rock back and forth.  I understand now that he is no longer making
them, and that the Central Hobbies Nose-ring was supposed to be a
replacement for it.  I have had several of the CH nose-rings and they
fit so tightly as to form nearly a welded lock of the rubber to the
motor.  I'm not opposed to making my own nose-rings, but I actually like
the idea of being able to purchase something and use it once in a while
too.  

	Has anyone found a P/N or different size O-ring to make these
units fit the YS correctly?  After just speaking to Vaughn, he felt that
the YS dimensional variances were too much to deal with so they shot for
the middle ground.  If anyone has spec'd or tried a new o-ring for this
device and could pass it along that would be great.

	Thanks,

	Jim
