Default My newest hub...

I got my new lathe up and running and have been playing around with hubs and stand-offs lately. I just got done with my new hub for my short shaft 54cc homelite. It was a fairly complex hub because I extended it back past the tapered key section so that it would come flush with the crankcase for a nice clean look,plus the case had a little ring around it that the hub overlaps(wish I would have taken a picture before I bolted on the hub. So,a good bit of the back section of the hub is hollow. I also chose to use 3 screws to which will be hidden after the prop is mounted to join the halves together instead of machining a much larger diameter hub which would have let me join the halves with screws on the outside after tapering it. I also cut out a split ring that will house my ignition magnet that will be adjustable. I have to pound some grooves onto the face yet so the prop doesnt slip,but I'll do that later. I cant wait to get this engine running. Whatta ya think?
