[SEL] Source for 8" flywheels

[Elden DuRand]

Joe:

I'll keep that in mind.  I may also check out a pawn shop and the flea markets.

I'm sorta leaning toward using what I have and that is an end from a piece of 5" diameter shafting.  I can get enough out of that sucker to make the head and two flywheels and maybe have some left over.  The other stuff (especially the model flywheel castings) are a bit pricey for this project.

Take care - Elden
