I am going to try to figure out a way to weld the bits of a starter dog
onto
the front pulley of the MB.
Simple enough - if the damn thing uses a central nut (and most do as well
as pulley bolts) then take a starter dog, mill off the old bolt and drill
and thread it for a bit of allthread or a bolt end of the right pitch. A
bit of Loctite and Bob's your uncle...
OR
If the threading on the end of the crank is of a small enough size in
comparison to the LR starter dog (which wouldn't be a big surprise) then
just machine the threads off the stud and rethread it. As LBSC would say,
"A kiddie's practice job..."...and well within the capabilities of Hans and
Frantz at your machine shop either way.
Either way, no welding involved....much better that way. Welded anything
that is under tension alweays makes me nervous....just a personal fetish.
