The cast Aluminum prototypes have been returned from the
foundry. We had three raw castings made
in case there are other EVers who are interested in obtaining. an adapter from us in the future. The next step is to
send the castings to our machinist so that he can prepare the 4.000 inch center hole, machine the opposite faces parallel, and then accurately drill the remaining bolt and dowel pin holes.

side The center will be machined out to 4.000 inches for mounting
of the Warp 11.
Our part time machinist is still working on our compression style shaft hub adapter. We hope to have a prototype and some pictures within the next week. It is our intention to test both adapter systems (keyway versus hub clamp and machined from plate stock versus foundry casting) and compare their performance in service.
