Hey everyone. On a Halibrand 101 qc for model a tubes. Is there a special carrier to use so it will not interfere with the main shaft ? Or do you just machine the carrier to clear the shaft.

Any help appreciated.

You will have to machine in a groove.

Or machine an undercut in the shaft.

I thought of that but the shaft is most definitely hardened. Idk if my lathe can cut it.

Machine the carrier. Remove the Y yoke for the diff gears, reassemble, turn down so there is about a 1/8" flat spot in the bolts, grind the ends of yoke to fit, all will be fine.

machining the shaft is a no-no, can it be done, yes, don't do it.

Jim thank you.

John. You are right. I don’t not want to machine the shaft. Too hard.

Thank you all for the help !

Do not cut the shaft (it would need to be ground which would weaken it too much)...machine the carrier for small clearance as others have already stated in this thread.
