Why don't you just cut out the sides with a template and weld them on the opposite sides. While you have them out fix the dent and do a hammered look if that's what you want. |

Actually after thinking about it and REALLY wanting to protect the pamco from the perm mag till I iron things out I made another diagram. Would this work, until the battery dies anyway? |

Yeah the biggest fear that I have right now is blowing the pamco. Definitely fearful of that. Heard that with the perm mag set up has blown a few. |

Yeah it's a Perm Mag set up. Good. Even though I'm just going to wire it for testfire I think it would be easier to work off of this to wire everything else up. |

Alright.... So are there any negative performance from just having the hose drop straight down and spew out on the chain? That's how mine was whenever I got it.... |

Well the downside is that the old rotor was damaged. I had to weld the puller onto it in order to get it off. If that tells you anything. So what would I do if I already have the rotor off? |

Yeah on the Woodruff key. I converted my ignition from TCI to Points. So I guess the woodruff has become obsolete in my case? |

In light of the amount of times I messaged MRRIGGS over on the garage forum about the Perm Magnet Alt conversion I figured I'd order his stator plate. So I'm waiting on it now. |
