Of course there are many variations I just described the most popular shapes.
You know I have torn down engines and the sling-er is sitting on the bottom of the oil pan.
mine is long flat with two bent v fingers at the bottom to fling oil back up onto the rod where there is a hole that goes down to the crank , so whats the verdict , remake of of the tempered hoe blade with welding on two sides where it bolts onto the rod (to keep it straight and not turn ), try to temper what I've made , or ?
