Ok, I need one of these soon and to my knowledge nobody makes one right now. So i have been talking to some people that are willing to make some. The question is how much will it cost, time frame, and material used.
RPM said they were going to use 80e shafts and machine them down to fit with the correct spline.
The machine shop said it might be better if we start with 4340 blanks and make brand new pieces.
I am looking into both alternatives.
The problem with the first option is the metal is hardened, it would need to be annealed, machined, and then re-hardened. But may be a little cheaper. That depends on how many people want shafts.
The second option is stronger, possibly a faster turnaround time, and fewer things to go wrong. Bad thing is they would cost around $550.00 a piece to make.
These would probably be 27 spline. I am open to any ideas and can pm my number to anyone who wants to get in depth. Please leave comments,good or bad, plus any ideas concerning this whole thing.
