Ok so the bolts i got with the retainer plate are little loose in the holes should i get correct bolts size to suit the holes

Hi Gene,

You need a Bolt with a small shank near the Hex Head that is exactly the same size as the Holes,

so when the XU1 Retainer is fastened up tight, the Retainer is running True. Dave I

I can Make 3 for you

Gene by memory 1/2 x 3/8 UNF bolts ? , they will be all thread as they are short

 

Don,t forget to put a star washer on each bolt

 

And just check the diameter of each hole if the bolts are loose as you said , should be a snug fit , seems strange as my initial thought holes were drilled out too big on the plate .. 

 

cheers

Thanks guys yes Shaun there is a little play with the bolts in not much but its noticeable
should they be high tensile bolts

gene , I like to use high grade bolts , I try and buy grade 8 if possible , if not settle for next lowest your bolt shop carries ....

[Ice]

TIP: If you file or scribe a line on the face of the retainer in line with the timing mark you can tell in future if the outer ring slips.

Great Tip Mark

Thank-you

Well, if nobody puts up the Measurements Ken,

I will measure Up Gene's, to the 10th of a mm, and put up here in the next few days. Dave I

 

Can someone please post some dimensions of the retainer plate as I will try to reproduce one for myself. Wall thickness and weight would help as well. Thanks

I now have Gene's XU1 Harmonic Ballencer Retainer Plate,

Dave, I only did technical drawing until year 10. Maybe things have changed? Can you explain the 51,104, and 114 measurements please?

[N/A-PWR]

Great pick-up Rob,

That's the pop-out part of the pressing, in not so many words,

 

So when looking at the Retainer from the side and where the Retainer bolts to the Harmonic Ballencer,

the pressing starts to curve at 104 diameter, and straightens up at 114 diameter at 5.7 off-set to the greater 139.9 diameter at the outside, and the 51 is the inside diameter as shown in the bigger diagram. Dave I

 

 

so in a nutshell, this is a side cross-section of the top half of the drawing,

I really should of put in the A-A marks to explain where the section is taken from, oh well.

 

also the blank bit to the left of the 104 number, is the 9.5 hole in the Main picture.

so if you drew a line from the inside through a hole to the outside, that is the section

 

 

Well, we need Gene to take a 3D shot so we have a different angle to look at hey

So.................how far is the 9.5 hole from the center of the 51 hole?

[N/A-PWR]

Gene, can you weigh it to please

 

I didn't put the bolt hole P.C.D. till I got the exact measurement from Holden
