OOH, we got a clutch spline
Well, I was at a high school today, and the autoshop teacher was in the office, and I told him I was looking for a clutch hub for a 1971 beetle, and he said "Hey! come down some time today and I'll give you one." What? OK! So, I picked it up, and hacked it up, trying to increase the welding surface area, but maybe it's not a good idea to do that. By the way, those rivets were forever! Dang german engineering!!! Well, I got it off. It has a lip that is exactly 40 mm wide, so I can get a L-110 Lovejoy with a 40 mm diameter, and it will slide right on perfectly centered. I can then weld it really solidly, and then the only thing to do is the adapter plate, all without visiting any professionals that want my money. This is going to be good, and I'm an idiot that doesn't know how to change oil even!
Also, I got a good deal on a 250amp continuous emergency disconnect/contactor from Curtis. It was only $35! I do need to attach a red button though. I don't know why it didn't come with one. I tested it and it works! oh ya.
The last picture is with the spring fully stretched, so if I let go of the second green cord, it will automatically go back.
