I made another run of the short clutch shafts for all the 928 models and have a few that are not spoken for. These shafts are made from 300M, some of the strongest material available for this particular application.

I know some of you have inquired about these shafts and have been waiting, patiently.

Here they are:



Keen observers will note that there have been a few changes....one of which was to have a corrosion preventative proceedure done. You might also note that the actual machining of the splined portion is slightly smoother....to decrease any chance of the clutch disc/discs "hanging up".

I've had a chance to study these shafts over time, now. One shaft that I exchanged for study had 48,000 miles on it....behind one of my high output engines. The areas where the clutch discs rode were literally "polished" and had no measureable wear.



Very impressive results!

The good news:
Despite the fact that I added more operations to produce this shaft, the production of this third batch of shafts was more efficient and the actual material is currently cheaper, therefore I can offer a limited quantity of these shafts at a reduced price of $325.00. (A new stock shaft is now over $500.00.)

The bad news:
Very limited quantities.

thats a good deal! now we just need that DD clutch with hydraulic TO bearing... :-)

I'll take 1 Greg.
Please add it to my CIS lines!

Are you still having that silver colored coating done on cam gears? I got to see a set of gears that you had coated and which had been running....amazing!

I'd like to send you "box" of gears to do for me, if you are still doing it.

Lizard928

Greg, I'll send you off a message about this.

Dave928S

I'll take one Greg .... I'll speak to or email Mary about shipping. I may get you to ship to Roger for me, for him to include with another parts order.

GregBBRD

Simple. Just let Mary know.

Actually, this is something that Roger should sell...so sending him one for you will allow him to look at it, closely.

Greg, please save one for me in case I need it for my '79 manual car that I'm sending down from portland Oregon.

GregBBRD

Done.

Dave928S

Absolutely .... 300M polished makes them a no brainer over standard stub shaft, especially for the early DD clutches.

My GTS has Gregs stub shaft that I married to a new TT shaft, also supplied from GB, when I did the TT Constantine brg. project.

Both are pieces of art as are the bearings

All work flawlessly.

Nice Greg, more excellent parts,
Keep em Flying!

Greg,
I sent you a message yesterday. Please hold one for me.

Andrew Schauer

Greg,
Thanks for your extra effort regarding the shaft spline lubricant, and more importantly for taking the time to have these shafts produced.

I happen to have one of your torque tube shafts that works fine. Why TT shafts fail to me is, in general, clear.

Why is it that these particular parts fail? Maybe I read it once, but please remind me.
