The wheel is cast iron and i cant weld it nor would i with the mags near the weld  zone.I tested a neo on my wood stove once and it's cool how it just fell off.

 The bracket will be welded to the outer band though and installed has a completed assembly to the wheel using epoxy and bolts.I'm thinkin of making the brackets with 2in.x 3/16 same has used for the band.

 I'm not sure if want to make the band adjustable or not yet.I'll probably set the gap at 1/2 in. and see how a test coil works.I can always make adjustment to them at a later date.
