Iam thrilled to have a good main shaft!
I was worried I was out of business. It would have been near impossible with out great club members!

when in doubt just ask.

The input shaft difference F0-1 case has a removable input shaft that is about an inch longer to accommodate for the trans spacer. The bearing retainer that screws on to secure the bearing has a larger diameter due to the preload screws diameter difference. Then there is the bearing size difference....

The input bore on the F-1 case is a smaller diameter. This makes the preload collars different diameters and the input shaft bearing is taller but not as wide.

The F0-1 case seems to be more robust. The input flange is thicker, the webbings thicker.

Received another chicago to try to build one out of two.
Some Notable differences. The black case is the F0-1 case and the rust colored one is the Patent’s pending F-1 case.

looking for this main input shaft.

What a beauty! Where did that come from?
And is there more?

Bryant

Thanks again Dan! I guess I will sacrifice the part.

But looking at the piece that is cut out I see a possibility to re-purpose it for a trans mount. It’s got that shape to it.

Thinking….

Bryant

Just a "heads-up" - the starter switch installed in your photo is NOT a good reproduction - it might work a few times, but the button rivet usually comes from together & launches the button or gets stuck engaging the power - not a good scenario ! When I took the picture I thought to myself. “I wond...

Thanks for the link Mark! I like the idea.
Now for another issue…..

the running board brace is now in the way. Is this normal for Aux transmission installations? I just love a challenge.
It’s a 26 Tudor

Bryant

I actually like the simplicity of the spacer. However to get it installed I believe it will require studs. The through bolts would need to be to long to be able to get them to fit into the holes.

Putting the round disk in place I realized it’s purpose. Giving just enough spacing so the brake equalizer doesn’t hit the transmission. Pump it full of grease for an oil seal.

Bryant

Thanks for that. I was looking through older posts but did not see this one.
What a bracket! Has its own suspension.
Thanks Dan

I assume when you have new wood under them they would sink in and grip good enough to tighten them. I could be wrong though. I had to cut all of them off because they were so rusted and the wood was rotted away.
