Oh Neil, you’re as bad as me :-)

Nope, bug arm has splines in diff place. 

I’ll find a used one I’m sure. But it has given me a few hours of thought about how I would go about making a sub. I’d do away with the splines in the arm as I can’t make them… I’d do some other way.

Oh btw, the clutch cross shaft is a nice 19.99 mm diameter where the arm goes on. It’s a nice close fit to the arm ( haven’t measured arm bore yet. I’ll guess it’s 20.00mm)
