I am checking interest in repro 904 main shafts. I think I can get them either made or made out of 901 shafts for much less than the $1800-2000 that they are commanding now.

Rich,
I don't think a gear specialty machine shop is necessary. All I need is a good precision machinist to do the preliminary cut to establish the minor diameter, and a final cut for the shoulder. The shop I've used locally for the previous shafts I've modded is perfect for this. In fact I will be seeing them soon for a little ski shooting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Maybe I should plan on bringing them several mainshafts to get the ball rolling. Dave P, I read Grady's article before I started my first shaft mod and decided to go one better by building up half of the splines before welding the gear in place. I think this method should handle more than the 200hp limit Brant mentioned. |

I think this method should handle more than the 200hp limit Brant mentioned. the 200hp rule is because of the active first gear with the "F" installed on it and hanging on the back end of the intermediate plate... Were using 1st gear in slow corners at full throttle. So the 200hp rule is about 1st gear. The 2nd gear portion of the re-splined main shaft is not the weak point. |
