I wanted 1st to be usable and there to be a reasonable step to 2nd. That required a CA for 1st and a H for second. Normally the H means buying a $1300 shaft and the gear is another pile of money. I took a different option.
Carquip built me a shaft with the original gear machined off and a H welded on. The good Doctor did the assembly for me ( I think there was some swearing). I've included a photo of the original shaft and the modified one so you can see the difference. I hope to be telling you about the difference based on the feeling in the car seat soon.  |

Bob,,
You can do this simply, one of two ways. Call CarQuip and get him to sell you a 904 mainshaft. John (RIP) at Otto's venice also made a run of these a while back. Try them also, no clue who is in charge now, or if they have any left. OR Call Chris Foley at Tangerine Racing. He can make you a shaft from an old stock one. It will have a welded gear on it, so you need to think about it. He might add some insight into your specific issues also. Rich |
