N/A FC Final Drive Gear Idea

jgrewe · 01-07-2009, 09:42 PM

I'm all about using what is laying around the shop and firing up the hot glue gun as well. I almost never buy stuff that can be made with a torch, welder, band saw, lathe etc. If you take an FC pinion and the FB pinion of the gear you want to a machine shop you will probably spend less than $100.

I am interested in how things go though...

Don't try to weld to the cast pig though unless you really know what you're doing, I would make something that bolts through that hole and is made out of some square stock or angle iron.
