Redrives

[John Penry-Evans]

Hello there -----> Redrives are available for some commercial V-Twins. Briggs & Stratton, Generac, Kolher, Honda etc. All parts on the redrives have the appropriate aircraft type coating; anodizing, cadmium, zinc and some galvanized parts.

 

We are a British company but based in Ooty, India.

 

Kevin Armstrong from the UK had designed the parts originally for his own commercial engine. Many have been produced over the last few years for pilots in many different countries. [email protected]

 

Weight is 3.9 KG`s. That`s 8 Lbs. 9 ounces. Materials are 6082 T6. That is approx. 15% stronger than 6061 T6. Eccentric adjustable shaft is made from En 19 (ASTM equivalent 4140, 4142 or 40Cr4Mo3). Used for gears and high strength shafts. It is a shock resistant steel grade. All bolts are rolled and high tensile.

 

Our standard backplate will fit most popular commercial V-Twin engines. Any different application must accompany a CAD drawing for the crank case fixing. In other words you have to participate and supply the correct engine drawings for bolting the redrive onto the crank case.

 

Users of the redives say that they are well made and easy to adjust and they are reversible, to mount upwards or downwards without any modification.

I think this is worth a bump for consideration to some of the V Twin stationary motors coming through the system nowadays, a viable option for some.

Yes, really like the B&S...... performance parts available for them too...... http://www.performancevtwins.com/customparts.html

 

I wonder what the power/weight can be stretched to?

It can be stretched into unreliability!

That is done with pylon racing and aerobatic engines. These Vee twin motors might have a bit of potential. Each should be assessed on it's merits and not the brand name. if some firms already make things like modified conrods and/or crankshaft that has a good look. The crankcase has to have the strength or you are wasting your time. It also needs enough cooling fins in the right places to avoid overheating with sustained loads.. The cost could be well under what we are used to, but the HP range is not into the higher range of what we want and unlikely to be able to be pushed there. Nev
