CA - I think you have done a great job. I'm a little concerned that when the rubber gets oily it will move around more when under vibration and heat. I'm especially concerned with the area that bolts between the
Engine and the plate. If I was you I would keep a close eye on it the first test run, which I'm sure is your plan. I have to say again how impressed I am with your molding skills. Like you said - Time will tell. How about some more details on your gun projects? I'm not a fan of those type of hose clamps. They work great on a car, I prefer the Honda type of bands.
Lets take these one at a time:
1) I'm a little concerned that when the rubber gets oily
That's a possibility but I did silicone it to the reed cage and this rubber is gripy. If is slips on the carb end I have an idea for it.
2) I'm especially concerned with the area that bolts between the Engine and the plate
Why ?? I silicone it.
3) I'm not a fan of those type of hose clamps
I am. They work well in all the years I have been using them and for all the various stuff I deal with. The only thing I have found to be an issue is when you re-use them. Many times they are way over tightened and then the worm damages the band. Now it won't hold.
4) How about some more details on your gun projects?
Below are some pics of what I call a guerilla gun. You can make it for less than twenty bucks. It's a 12 gauge slam fire and it is made with two pieces of pipe and a 2x4 board. It has a laser sight that you get at the dollar store. You make these and put them in a sewer pipe and bury it in the bush somewhere. Then you don't have to pack a gun around with you all the time. With regards to the full auto conversion, I don't really want to comment yet. It's a very very very simple concept and if you think about it and are mechanically inclined you can figure it out. It uses an 9v electric-motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )). Not sure if I can find a
motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) strong enough for the purpose though.
