DervMafia Eddy Current Dyno Upgrade

[darrenjlobb]

Long overdue update here, been all sorts going on, but dyno has been shaping up to!

Next step was to get the rest of the eddy brake back together, which meant new bearings / seals for the center drive hub, and re wiring the coils etc.

So with the core removed the retarder looked much like this:



And then stripped it down...as you can see this has been dry / no oil in here for some time!




So ordered up some new bearings and lip seals, all sizes were metric, so nice and easy to source, which made a nice change!




Got them mounted up on shaft..



And back in the center:



Cleaning up the very crudded / blocked vent tube!



And got it back in the retarder, leaving me with a fully assembled driveline ready for rotors etc and rewiring!
