Message: [QUOTE="gwunter, post: 1420812, member: 9742"] Well here's the pics of the new assembled shaft if anybody cares. [ATTACH=full]168390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]168394[/ATTACH] A lot of wire was used to fill those slots and the female splines got distorted from the high heat. Upon first time assembly it wouldn't mate up with the male part. I wound up having to grind a piece of high speed steel the approximate same shape as a tooth of the splines. I then had to use my lathe with a boring bar to straighten out the splines, like a broach. It took a while, but worked. I hate having to abuse my lathe like that but it's all back together now. Maybe someday I'll tool up and get the equipment to cut splines. I could cut external splines now, but internals are a whole new game. [/QUOTE]
