Hi primer , nice work I must say!!!! keep us all posted on you new thread you start on the revised water brake dynamometer you mentioned your working on.
Would be nice if you had access to some CNC machinery, make work a lot easier. BUT it all can be done manually also.
Has anyone made their own PC electronics (software/hardware) yet ? instead of reading analog gauges.
