Anyone locally know of a decent engineering supply company the might have heavy duty allen key type grub screws in stock.

The alternator drive wheel decided to run free from the shaft this evening when on tick over for 1/2 an hour after we hit a shopping trolley or other large nasty solid item under a bridge near Tamworth west.

The original engine installation looks like it had 4 drilled into the shaft, the existing looks like only 2, of probably M8 which have sheared. I have tools to drill out but will need new grub screws or bolts. Can't confirm the size until tommorow as it's too bloody late.

Looking at the shaft, the wheel has been secured by a single grub screw for a long time, the other three only just peep out if the wheel flange holes.

The single one has scored a channel along the shaft and has finally disintegrated.

 

So it's off with the wheel and re-engineering it asap.

......and hope the sun comes our soon so my solar charges the batteries.
