Special tool prototype Primary Sheave 450cc

Another day in the workshop - I had planned for this footage to be part of a new type of video but it ended up a little too long to include.

I have recently been completing work on designing some simple Special Tools to hold Primary Sheaves on CVT drive assemblies stationary to allow the retaining nut to be torqued correctly. This video covers the start to finish of the design of a new Prototype tool for a 450cc ATV.

The finished job worked very well indeed & will form the basis for the final production tool. I still have a few more of this type of tool to design & produce for other ATV & RoV models so there may be more videos or maybe an update on this tool once the 2nd Prototype is laser cut - watch this space...

Enjoy

Thanks for watching, producing these videos does cost a great deal of time & some money too.

If not then you can help in other ways - why not share the video you enjoyed on your facebook or other Social media platform - it's amazing how one single post can then be shared causing a sudden surge in views!
