George,

They are surplus Pratt & Whitney engine bolts..= .....I do not have one in front of me

at the moment but they are 3/8 inch (.375) diameter x approx. 8 inch l= ength with SAE

fine rolled threads........After talking to Richard at the Rotary Roun= dup a few years

ago I sent him some after he determined they would work for his single= Rotor.........

Best Regards,

It has been a frustrating 7 month, trying = to get the single rotor dynamically balanced. After a lot of fellows on the= lists trying to help, I called Mazdatrix, and as of last week I got the pa= rts back from them balanced. The engine is going back together right now fo= r continuing testing.

The main effort is now designing and testi= ng the intake and establishing a performance baseline.

I made some changes on the outside of the = engine. For example the lower engine mount points are now on the front of t= he engine to provide mounting areas for radiator and oil cooler. The l= ocation is much like with a Shertz Beam on the two rotor.

The third mounting point is on the oil pum= p cover at a location similar to the 12A front mount in the car. I don't ha= ve pictures yet, but the castings should be here any time now.

I am also working on getting a magneto ign= ition in.

The e-shaft in the picture was taken befor= e hardening and grinding.

I hope to be able to do shorter update int= ervals in the future.
