Question reagrding old system setup for birdview system

[phlatwound]

So a cylinder hone would handle that just fine... thx... (just like to be prepared if I ever lay my hands on one!!)

Hmmmm, never thought of trying to use a hone. One for automotive use may be too large, but I think I know someone (that knows someone) that has a hone (and boring bar) for lawnmower engines.

A larger brake cylinder hone should be big enough...

there are still quite a few of those systems in this area that are no lomger in service the dishes are just sitting in peoples yards collecting bugs and what nots ....

Thanks for the info Linuxman will be in touch with you over weekend .

Sounds Good!

I never thought about a hone, but that might even be faster than the way I did my last one.

The way to mark it is to put the co-rotor over the hole centered as best as possible, and draw a circle with a sharpie all the way around. Grind out the mark making sure it is the same all the way through. See if you can slide in the co-rotor and keep working until you can.

I even used a dremel and polished up the co-rotor and took the two ridges off on each side so it would fit closer. Nothing like having it snug.

If you keep it nice an snug, a CK-1 or a BSC-621 will fit real nice inside too.

Are the Birdview scalers made from the same pot-metal alloy that all the others are made?
If so, a hone should go through it pretty quickly.

I'm pretty sure the Birdview scalers are pure aluminum. The holes I have drilled in mine created shavings that were aluminum flakes. Very soft and light.
