Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
after one too many sleepless nights The Greg made some significant progress on Rev. 2.0 of our input shaft mechanism, using this handy LDR 311 F-112 Galvanized Floor Flange, 1-1/2-Inch, complements of our friends in Vietnam, or as I like to call it the Lexus GS450h transmission plate two big of a hole reducer thingie
here it is as found in our local Ace Hardware store plumbing section |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Is the "Lexus GS450h transmission plate two big of a hole reducer thingie" being used as an alignment tool so you can re-drill those mounting holes?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and then it was S&K Steel Time aka SKST
so this is the kind of remnants they have, and at first I thought this frisbie disc would work but turns out it was not sliced straight . |
