Had a look today, sorry I do not have any of those

The tran input shaft is made from a micro alloy that the shop claims is superior to 4140. Cost is around $250 plus shipping.

Mine will be made from 4140, which I believe should be fine, heck buddy at work is running them on his dragster!

I should be able to sell them for $150-$175USD plus shipping. ATVNUT quoted me $250USD plus shipping, that's too much when I can get them made for $100 less. I'm not in it for the money, I just try and find cheaper places to get the things I need/want and pass them on.

I'm getting 3 made for us here, I need minimum 3 more takers to garauntee that price (need minimum order of 6). Let me know ASAP if you want one (or more

) as I'll be tearing apart a tranny to get a shaft as a sample, then my guy's going to start ASAP as he gets busy in May.

Yep, but I need to make some measurments. I might want a 7/8" shaft, if that is possible?

Roberto still has the 7/8 shaft last I called a few months ago

No problem. Still with a 1/4" keyway?, and same internal thread size, hope so

otherwise it'll be more $ (another setup).

For the others that expressed interest via pm/email, I need to know what length you want on the 1" shaft portion, otherwise yours will end up with whatever length I get for mine (have to pull mine and measure yet :roll: ) They're going into production Mon-Tues...so let me know by Monday at the latest for any dimensional info, or they're the same as mine.

Please PayPal $175 shipping included (US and Canada only - elsewhere email me) to [email protected]

Should be ready in ~2 weeks

Getting mine made to an overall of 14" I won;t bne able to get the clutch on with the length without doing one of the following:
1. Install the clutch on the tranny, then install the tranny
2. Cut a length off the shaft, insert that into the clutch then install onto the remaining length of shaft and insert a one piece keyway (lining/linking the two together...this is similiar to what I have now with my adapter setup)
3. make a piece of the frame removeable
4. cut the shaft as in #2, and make an coupler piece the same as my current adapter.

Shafts are done

Look good too, even have the oil bath path for the gears that run on copper bushings on it (I forgot to mention those, byt he machined them in as he copied off a sample I gave him). I'll try to get them packaged this weekend ( I'm working though

) or early next week.

I can get more made at anytime, but I need a minimum of 6 for that price.
