    A few test runs...


    He had to take out the mechanical fan on his to make the pulleys work, but In the video on the OP the mechanical fan is still used. If anyone can get ahold of Morgan-Tec, he may still have the templates for the brackets and what not...

    That's the ones Mr. Dubs!!!

    I tore through all 3 computers before i realized I had them on my external backup!

    Looking at the pictures again... I see why he had to do away with the mechanical fan and use the electric one... But then again, that's an Axiom, so maybe the VX has enough room???

    So, you can basically pick up a Powerdyne BD-11A from Ebay or even a pick-a-part for less than $1k, rebuild for around $350 and get a plate made at a machine shop as long as you have a viable template for +/- $100, some odds and ends, a bit of measuring, and you should a a decent setup right...

    I searched Google for that part and it comes back with everything from $.25 to $25K. Why do I have a feeling that will be the case here?
