Glen's diesel rebuild thread

[cnrglen]

These arrived in the mail today:



Now the project really starts. I have to drill/cut the old fans out to mount these. I noticed that the new fans have extended rings on the bottom for mounting. I'm not sure if I will keep them or sand them down and mount the fans flat on the roof.

While I was waiting for the fans to arrive, I assembled the diaphragms for the F3 a&b set.





My friend gave me a kit that includes enough parts for 5 diaphragms for athearn F-7's. However I found that the basic parts in the kit are the same as the Stewart F-units. The only difference is the mounting plate, which I already had in gray.




I had to fabricate one extra mounting plate but that was pretty easy. Then I just painted them black to match the rest of the parts. I have assembled the three sets that I need and they're just waiting for the rest of the project to catch up.
