STOP (again).

Take a close look at the nuts that hold the coil casting on. Can they unscrew themselves?

I would hate to all that beautiful work destroyed because not enough attention was paid to these crucial features.

Keep checking the whole machine - this the good thing about posting photographs.

It looks a little spindly on the stator thread . Looks as though it won't deform with the blades aft but the alternator will drag a quick highspeed twist . That looks like 5/16 go to 5/8 .3" long 5/8 thread takes more Than 150 lbs torque 5/16 is around than 25 lbs .The stator itself is probably 15 lbs . Some t braces on the stator support is a good idea.
