update…. shock clucth spins fine  under the impeller  base plate

peeked inside no breaks ….

Has suggested I  tried the 90 degree stiff wire test and room to spare  ……..sealed up the impeller with homemade gasket  and sealer

As to the busted pivot pin  and  has  suggested    I  filed down the threads on a 1/4  28 tpi   stainless  steel  2″ bolt and cut to lenght  …works perfectly and  the bolt’s fat headed   philips  will never strip again.  see pict… not perfect ( I just used a drill press to hold things while I  filed out  the threads )

I know SS and aluminum  don’t like each other but…a few wraps of teflon tape should slow the agression between 2 metals

I will reassemble  the GC and pressure test the new seals  and  finish this winter project  🙂
