wood block

[givergas]

ive been looking in here for the wood block that the engine can sit on and hold steady, on its side, while you put it back together. i have some blocks of ceder that will work great for it but i need a little guidance. i just cant find the post or a picture. any help to find it would be appreciated..... albert

Just screw 2”x4” together and make a box/frame in any size you desire- obviously something the size that’ll hold a Hodaka motor. We use 2”x6” at Ducati, as the motors are bigger and lay deeper, depending on what position you put them in.

I took a piece of plywood, 3/4", laid an empty case half on it, marked where the shafts would be and drilled holes thru the plywood with a hole saw. The screwed 2"x2" feet on both ends. Works for assembly on either side.

yea thats what in looking for, a little help to wrap my mind around it......albert

On the Wombat shop manual, there is a template for making the exact engine assembly frame you want.

Look in the back issue of the Resonator, can’t remember what one. I posted how to do it.

It’s issue 2 volume 7

Oh I did not show the photo with the measurements, you need to join the club. Now that’s worth 24 bucks.

Here's mine, 11" x 14", 3/4 ply. Once you assemble the core motor, you can flip it over and use the correct holes to lay it flat to assemble the clutch side. Works handy.

I learned from an old sheet rock installer to put lipstick on parts to mark where to cut. You never need to measure & it’s always in the right place!

[givergas]

boy theres a joke in that statement. albert

[viclioce]

Well, some folks see it as silly or funny, but when you’ve got to cut out a square hole on sheet rock for an outlet box, it works like a charm! Victor

[givergas]

Yea your right. Sometimes my sence of humor gets the best of me

[taber hodaka]

Sounds like a revlon add watching a sheet rocker putting on lipstick , I don't see the charm. Come on victor just a little humor. Victor are Hodaka Days in your path? -------Clarence
