got in my new chain, tensioner and clutch band brake setup
May wait on installing the tensioner, its much larger then I thought
but I could salvage the wheel it has
and possibly make a simple one just weld a small piece of metal with a slot going upwards
then I can adjust the wheel a little up and down
since I did not see a band brake mount for this engine I made my own
I may make a few more and throw on ebay I got a guy that cuts out with a cnc plasma cutter so I can easily mass produce a flat piece
not sure if its done correctly, but the couple tests works great
skids out the tire so I made it pretty weak, that way it will slow the bike down not lock the tire up
I still will be using the drum brake too in the back tire
just wanted a stronger brake too, noticed the bottom right bolt hits the chain so if I make anymore I will not have that hole drilled out
Powdercoated it too
Just noticed I should of rounded off those square corners
also found I needed to use that little guide on the bottom
up top which would probably keep it tracking straighter seemed to hit the chain or something
cant remember but I put it down low to miss whatever it was
also ordered a longer spring, as I wasnt aware it came with a spring
but im glad I did, I ended up using the longer one
the short one it comes with works too but this way there is always back pressure on it, makes it snap away faster
I think it turned out pretty good
the long bolt that it connects to I wish it was threaded longer
I had to weld a washer on the back side where the brake slides onto and gets held in place
if I had a longer threaded bolt I could of used a nut to fine tune the centerness
but it ended up perfect because I did all my measurements
