REFLECTOR: Reflector: More Crossflow Shenanigans

[dohayes at aol.com]

Anyone out there know of any unhappy (can it be any other way?) Crossflow
customers, who are using their engines for boat anchors or paperweights, and
would be willing to share parts, pictures of parts, or knowledge of the
parts that comprise the accessory drive? All the moving parts in mine are
missing. Ideally, I would need the actual parts after identifying them, but
duplicating them would also be a possibility. Attempting to fabricate them
by looking at where they should be doesn't seem like a viable plan. The
mechanism is basically a cross shaft with helical gears that mesh with gears
on the reduction drive shaft. There have to be female splined connections on
both ends, but I'm not sure if they are part of the shaft or stock parts. It
would be nice if everything was a stock part off of something else, but I
don't have any ideas on where to look.

Although this latest problem has been staring me in a face for a while, I
didn't notice until I decided to mount the propeller governor. My velocity
is basically ready to fly, but now I can't even start the engine. Any help
to shave off more years of delay would be appreciated.
