It's been a ride of note Neil. Maybe being in Africa has its advantages brother. This is a novel idea here.
Just enjoying the ride. Thanks man.👊👊👊

Friday ain't special here. Morphs into Saturday and on we go.

Space is premium on the liner and my oil tank is a little closer to my water pump than I like.
Running a standard pulley and belt configuration is a concern. The pump pulley is fairly large.

I made up my mind I'm using an electric motor to drive the pump. I can turn it on and off as needed.
As usual I go sponsor hunting. No one got back to me so I put the project on the backburner.

Yesterday I was looking for my "Carbon/honeycomb" headrest and cheek panels I thought I made last year or earlier
because I wanted to go see Dave about the foam materials I need. I searched for hours without luck.

I open a box I think they might be in and there's this 12v electric motor!!!!. Perfect for running the pump. On testing it runs great and the toothed pulley is a match.
There are no markings on it. No ID, no specs, no manufacturer. How in heck do I figure the RPM??.
I'm a complete idiot on electrical but I'm sure someone here has an answer?.
Maybe I should take it to an electrical shop that deals with them?. Any advice?. Thank you. 🙏

Optical tachometer and hook 12v to it

[WOODY@DDLLC]

Digital laser tachometer less than $20 USD on Amazon.

Or do it with a microphone and free audio program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fa2AFkDZ5Y&t=19s

We all want to know the rpm now!

Thanks guys.

I'll take it to one of my sponsors. They'll figure it out.
Even the El Cheapo fong kong stuff has some sort of info on it.
See what I deal with here?. I swear I have some sort of Murphy dude in my shop.
I get played like a cheap banjo on a daily basis.

Pro1 racing. The home of lost stuff. Am I the only one?. A guy I met by chance who was down on his luck was brought to my gate by the gardener next door. Gabriel is a military vet too and lost all he had. He's a mobile mechanic and needed help. A heater hose burst on one of these FWD toy cars and he needed a plastic elbow and some hose. I found that stuff in two minutes. I swear I don't know where the elbows came from but two Stainless clamps and some hose from my 2V motor in the office and he was sorted. Needless to say we're brothers now. Best buds. My own problems!!!!!!!!. NOT A CHANCE.
St. Anthony is the patron Saint of lost property and he's like "Dude, I'm exhausted. You're on your own, there are millions of others". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My full spool is in the works.
7075 Aluminium or 8620 forged steel?.

I go with your recommendations. Thanks guys.

What is the application, Mike?

Steel, weight's not an issue.

I finally figured how to reduce image sizes that fall within the parameters set here.

A pic of the abrasives I collected from Klingspor.

Thanks to Brent and Clodia.
