That is the hole for The shaft rpm sensor.

Nice color, needs a little bit of green.

Looking at the size of that new torque arm, that’s probably possible

Well here is what that little "pink" brake is rated to handle....

But I think I'll start small...

Sweet, nice work as usual.

"With full absorber" whatever that means...

That means the pink thing is completely filled. With the right pressure and water flow. Push the hp limit to the max the water turns to steam in a hurry.

Rough mock up for the new load cell/arm. I'll make sure everything is stright and true. Still need to add more holes.

Figure what better way to break in the new system, than by doing what broke the old?

I have a year of tech support and it's only 68 miles to request some "in person" assistance....

I'll put a hose in my 5 gallon mix can and leave it on the dyno all day.

Added some vibration isolation pads. Hopefully keep the electronics happy...

Certainly can't hurt.

I like the arm being separate from the strain gauge. Those lead cells are a commodity item, easily calibrated, easily replaced.

I sure hope they hold up, this one was 400$ not really something I want to blow through.

oof - It seems like they're free, as many as we use in our test lab.

They are also quite reliable as long as you're not side-loading them, over-straining them, etc.

Be sure to 'carefully' tighten those jam nuts too - I'm assuming you know this, but I noticed it in your picture.
