I can’t machine the splines on the arm. I’d have a go at the splines in the shaft, that’s easier. But the internal splines, and they are proud, not recessed. Is way beyond me. I have spare cross shaft. I suppose I could do away with the spline method and make new arm to fit that, maybe keyed. Cutting a keyway in the shaft is possible. Clocking it right is a matter of being careful. That’s something I’m bad at :-) Alistair > On May 24, 2021, at 1:56 PM, Neil <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> >> Otherwise it’s a weld up and remachine.
