Would any body be interested in a kit that would make the rotor drive sheave on their IH rotor hydraulic adjustable? Pluses that i can see are:
1. Faster rotor adjustment, making tuning easier and faster.
2. Easier to change rotor belt since you don't have to take the chain off an the box the motor mounts to would be out of the way. Also the sheave could be designed to open much wider for changing the belt so that you have more slack to work with. Plus it would open completely in next to no time.
3. If the hydraulic hose would have to be removed it could be with a pioneer coupler.
I've been kicking the idea for this kit around, figured with 140,000 plus axial flows out there would surely be some people interested. I think the original rotor speed switch could be retained making every thing look like a factory install.
