Wheeee!
I took my drawings for the 240D to LR adapter plate down to the machine
shop. This time I managed to talk to the proprietor, Horst, instead of the
young buck I talked to last time. He liked the drawings, but when I told
him about my alternate plan to just have a complete new flywheel cover made
instead, he really perked up.
This is the more elegant solution that I had abandoned, as people who I
thought knew, believed it would cost to much to hog out a 13" round by 1.5"
deep hole from a billet. "Ja, I tink it vill cost about ze same, but it
vill be much better, no extra play in ze toleranzes and a much nicer end
result, hei?"
Next time, I will start by talking to the expert first, not half way through
the project...
