Hi , thought i would start my own thread titled " Heenan & Froude G_series Hydraulic water brake engine dynamometer " in the efforts to stimulate other Heenan & Froude engine dyno owners to find this thread via the GOOGLE search engine.I have been studying the H&F dyno manual the passed few days and also playing around with the Load Cell Rating Calculator that is provided in the section of YourDyno instrumentation kit " , ' Calculate the right load cell size here: Engine horsepower */ Brake RPM @ max power * / Torque arm length (mm) *=Load cell rating . This is all fine and i understand it BUT! i want to try and utilize the existing H&F dyno(number 3) Connecting Link and/or (number 4) Reducing Lever without actually physically altering my engine dyno so the dyno can still run the old analog gauges side'by'side with YourDyno PC conversion software. Today I have some free time and will be dismantling the covers to reveal what are going to be my constraints underneath the bulky dyno cover(s) ? I will take a few pictures while I have the covers off.Once I have made the measurements and calculations for the right size " Load Cell Rating " to fit neatly within my dyno covers/body constraints and parameters area i have to play with OR I'II need to fabricate another existing torque arm to work in unison with the gauge torque arm(spring balance) of my Heenan & Froude GB4 engine dyno . Maybe I'm setting myself a task that may not be achievable and will require more vast dyno modification than I am targeting to achieve, fingers crossed.Cheers(From Australia) HeenanFroude_engine_Dyno_GB4-p1.JPG

How are you getting on with this project. I remember this model from when I worked at Froude in the 1980s.

Cheers from NZ.
