The flywheel should come with a belt grove in it.

That didn't take long! They have been out for about a month and people are already modifying. Very cool.

To use the little D2 engines power it is a very easy modification to change the flywheel for a pulley b u t what a difference it makes for that little engine : Now it is able to do what a steam engine should do : Being able to power something ! I have to admit that I am impressed and I like it very much !

cheers Joe

Neat. I can see its a normal wilesco pulley he is using too so it involves no machining.
