Really nice work Kim... how do you get the tubes to match the inner housing wall so nicely?grinding and sandingor just by lining it of with a pen and cut/grind it?

 

I lined it with a marker, then cut it roughly with a cutting disc, milled it by hand with an electric rotarytool and finished it off with a sandingwheel.

The choketubes are press-fit due to my wicked mad tyte fabrication skilzz haha

 

hehehe I see... lol

 

Motor is done, I will install it in the new year
