[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 387180, member: 8026"] Things are moving along despite the fact it is snowing AGAIN.. My doubler kit came in from NWF... nice kit... I had to order the larger input bearing and female input shaft. I haven't started installing it yet because my 70's GM 205 case is getting the input bearing machined out to be larger. I am also tapping the two hold that hold the shift rails into place and putting in a 1/4 npt plug instead of a "freeze plug" The 205 was in pretty good shape considering the age. The idler shaft was grooved up a bit in the center where it appears some dirt got in, the main input shaft gear had a chunk missing from the center of each tooth.. maybe oiling? Or maybe it was chewed. The main input bearing had a piece broke off of it. Since the bearing and shaft are being replaced it's not big deal. I should have my case done this week. I have new shift rails are coming in for the triple stick. I am looking for a 32 spline front output shaft because this early year 205 had a 10 spline shaft. Now the tubing issue. I mentioned my neighbor works for a place that makes steel tubing. ERW and DOM.. just found out about the DOM... At any rate the price i can get it for is ridiculous as long as I buy it by the bundle. I have been waiting on 1 3/4 .120 wall but none has come in. Come to find out in the grand scheme of things the .120 wall is an oddball size. I realize in motorsports it's common but in the grand scheme of life.. it's not. .134 wall however is common and I can get that pretty easy. My pro tools 105 could not bend .134 wall 1 3/4 so I sold that and purchased a 105 HD bender which CAN do the .134 wall tube. Sold my old bender for $150 and bought the new one on sale at trick tools for $300... by purchasing .134 wall tubing I will be saving WAY more than the $150.00 difference. I can't post what I am paying for the steel but I can tell you it's ridiculous. Now I'm waiting again. Waiting for the call to come pick up my bundle of steel ( 20 to 30 sticks ) and waiting for my tube bender to show up... Waiting for shift rails and new shaft so i can build my doubler.. waiting .. waiting .. waiting...
