Other Looking for any TBM flywheels with cracked hubs.

[OCD Solutions]

How many of these are out there?

ScottS had one that had cracked down the hub and so we figured we would try turning it down slightly and fitting a sleeve over it.

Anyone else thought about doing this/already tried it? Good idea/bad idea?

I have enough material to do a few more if anyone feels it's worth the risk rather than having it as a paperweight.

Wanna try a Jetinetics?

I'm game but a better question might be, are you willing to run it if I repair it?

Just took some pics of it. This is a real old Jetinetics before they had the steel hub wrap around the inside with the huge rivet things like the newer ones and also RAD, etc.. I ran this for 8 years from brand new and one day I started having intermittent spark problems and to make a long story short(and a long search for the problem) it was this flywheel off balance enough. You could not tell it was the flywheel until I took it off. The front looks fine with no cracks. So do you balance them some how also? and yeah, I would run it in somethin and would not hold it against you if it grenaded..haha

Lol, NM it looks likes the magnets are ready to fall out... I dont know if I would trust them. There is a coating on top of each one that is pealing off. Prolly should just keep it as a door stop. Its been one for like 10 years or so..

I've got one I can send you. I'll take pics today when I get home.

I was going to make a clock out of it. A $600 clock. Lol
