well ....the pigs have gone Shawn ...but the site is a mudbath now ....
this is "that" neo that caused us all the grief with the stator gap when you were here ....
the poly ester section around it was just about completely detached from the rotor....
no hope of a quick patch up job then , life no 9 has been used up , the poly (and every neo to some degree) had rust underneath .....
the vinyl ester is here , so its a full clean and rebuild....
the front rotor , although not near as bad was quicker to strip as we knew what was going to be underneath.....
some of the neos ( at least 6/7 will be binned ).....the smaller unused machine will donate them
the others are in reasonably good shape ,although the nickle coating is,nt there much anymore on the bottom .......
with the price of neos now , not trying to clean and reuse isnt really an option .....(get another year or 2 ?)...
the "cleaned" up neos
i think this alt always ran (liked) a big airgap ......a little bit of breathing space was good for it in the end ....(i,ll pick you up at the airport )
