Heavy A-Bar

Don’t know where to find something like the Eikon heavy armature, but if you want your machine to run a little slower why are you going straight to replacing the armature bar? You could change your point gap or change your springs and that’s just two ways to approach the issue. If you’re really wanting a heavier armature be like the one Eikon sells you could also drill and tap a normal armature bar and put a small button head screw in the armature bar towards the front. Obviously the crew would have to be on top of the armature bar, if you tried to put it on the bottom it would screw up your throw and just in general would work out. Another option may be going to a golf store and buying some metal tape, put the metal tape on the armature bar until you get the weight you want in the area you want. If you know anything about metal working and can get to a place with a drill press and metal cutting band saw you can make the armature bar you want. Of course that option is a lot more work that the others, but building your own parts and machines is a lot of fun.

Have you tried a thicker guage rear spring? That make get you some extra resisitance on your throw and slow your machine down that extra little bit you’re looking for.
