Tricked i think you missed something.

Driveline and shearer sell this style. They have some longer grooves and dont dtay together when unbolted

Gigot sells one with no long grooves but appear to bolt together for ease of assembly

I asked this question a week or so ago with no replies. There is a minor price difference also. What i stated above is just from the pics i have seen. Ive never used either.

I've ran both, but prefer my driveline. The different groove lengths don't make a drastic difference, but they do let you get a little more progression. Weight is where it's at. McMaster Carr has some interesting materials.....

That's how i do it. otherwise the bearings are not going to stay in place. It worked out for me since you can save the trans fluid by tipping it over.

So. On that style do you have to tip it over to assemble it on the engine?

Not really, I just drop the balls in the grooves, place the shims and springs on the inner hub, then I lay the cover plate on the pressure plate and pinch it together and set it on. Keep pressure on it and start the screws by hand. Zip them in with a socket style allen. But if you're messing with it at the track, it helps to throw it on it's side. Just make sure fuel is off...

Will the Hinson,Duncan/trinity style quick change cover work for a slingshot? Full access available. I like the idea of a slingshot over a lockup.

Tried a Duncan and it did not work because of the tabs they use to hold the outer cover on. In all reality, the finger style lock ups are quicker for changes. The slingshot is more aimed at setting it up and leaving it be IMO. That said, I love my Driveline Slingshot.

I concur with this.

 

Before I bought my Mattoon lockout I called Driveline to see if the slingshot would fit under my Duncan quick cover. Via measurements over the phone it wasn't going to work successfully.

Had a quick question about the Driveline lockup. I installed it today and the paperwork said for mild motor use 18 balls and for more powerful motor use 36 and for bigger [10 mil] use all of the balls. I installed 30. Do you think that too many? Thanks
