Re: ’24 Elto Spun Flywheel

[Monte NZ]

I know where there is a Super Elto Model G Ruddertwin (1926 model) that has about a two inch diameter circle of cap screws round the flywheel nut. When I first saw it I assumed that the eccentric and/or key way must have been damaged and a new replacement had been machined and fitted. I may be wrong, but what else could those cap screws be fitted for?

I only wish now, that I had asked the owner what had happened to the motor to require those cap screws. Unfortunately the owner died years ago, but I could contact his widow and see if she or any of the family know. The motor is still in the family to the best of my knowledge.
