Default Re: Single piece aluminum driveshaft

Going to get driveshaft cut down and reballanced next week, just waiting on my adapter plates, if they do not get here soon, I will make my own, I have some 5 3/8 x 1 lathe stock, just time is my problem and trying to find someone that can make them at a descent price if anyone else wants to.

Here is some of the info for adapters


I purchased 2 more flange yokes.
Part number 2-2-329
SPECS:

1.375" = CENTERLINE OF UJ TO FLAT OF FLANGE FACE
2.375" = MALE PILOT DIAMETER
3.875" = FLANGE SWING DIAMETER
.375" = BOLT HOLE DIAMETER
3 1/8" = BOLT HOLE CIRCLE DIAMETER

The other set of flange yokes I have, measured with calipers, would like to use but if you can not get the timing correct for bolt holes, than would use the other pair. Ty

64.99 male pilot
95mm bolt circle diameter
10mm bolts
Would prefer to use but believe timing the 4 bolt over the 3 bolt will have the holes to close together

3 arm props measured with calipers
100mm bolt circle diameter
12mm bolt holes
16mm pilot .6300"

A 5" x 1" aluminum
With a .6320 pilot all the way through, .0020" larger to fit
3 12mm bolt holes in a 100mm bolt circle diameter, with 18mm recess 12mm deep for cap bolts
So the flange yoke will sit over top of the flange yoke
The 4 bolt holes for the flange yoke need to be threaded

Of course I have lots of pics, I can post if anyone wants I can post.

O and new driveshaft is stronger and lighter and alot higher critical mass.
I do not know if you can but plugging the holes with tight plugs and tack welding them in place would be an option. Alternatively threaded plugs staked in position is another option. You are just building up side strength. If the holes touch then the welding method is the option, but the weld would be deeper and all around. Both options would be flush.
