Any chance you could do a raw parts list from somewhere like MCMaster? I never can find raw materials like all thread and aluminum tubing in the suburbs of NYC. Just no market for fine machine parts like that. Great job rb. |

Is there any play in that setup? Is it over kill to toss in 3 extra gears? |

Excellent idea, clean and nice. I JB'd my first and then came across this idea. Did the 2nd axle this way, thanks. Do you have any neat idea similar to this for the Pede tranny? Quote:
