We all know the basics of this and that it works, but with Ed having the only issue that I know of with one of my covers I looking to improve one part. The blocking of the galley, the steel epoxy stuff has worked for years, but with the one issue happening Im looking into making it better. Whether it be not use any at all and find a better way to block it or only use some to help secure a permanent block. I need to get a cover or possibly a few to experiment on. Ive got an few ideas, all of which will probably be a better way.
1. Find a plug thats a very snug fit but can be "forced" into place and use red locktite (pretty sure thats the strongest)to make sure it stays.
2. Remove the plug at the top of the galley. Drill the galley to the next drill bit size bigger til just before the chamber at the end. Get a snug fitting plug to take down to the ridge thats created and locktite it in place. Possibly use some steel epoxy to for the slope at the top hole for a smooth transition.
3. Find some one local that can weld on the clutch cover. Drill a hole between your fitting holes, but on the back side and fill with weld.
Obviously 2 and 3 are the best most permanent solutions to avoid anyone having the problem. #2 being the easiest and cheapest for the DIY'er. Ive obviously put some thought into this in the last couple weeks. I just need to be able to do some experimenting. Once Ive actually got what I feel is the best solution, Im going to mod one good cover and test it on my own warrior.
For the metal plug Im thinking of smooth steel rod that could be easily cut to size, but agian that is dependent on the actual measurment of the galley. Any of your guys input would be great to.
