salmon_slayer06 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Those of you who had turned there own shift drums, what size bearing did you end up using and how did you go about turning the drum when theres a hole in the end for some reason. Does it interefere with the bearing or does it need to be filled in with a weld than turned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitbread Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 McMaster Carr P/N 5972K243. Tapped right into my case with no machining needed. Lathe end of the shaft down to a .001" press fit for the ID of the bearing. Don't worry about the hole. You'll remove it. Be sure to take a .020" pass before you start cutting the bearing groove. That way the shaft is resting on the bearing and not won't drag on the bore when it's back in the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
