10-4 on that--i got a scotch brite pad in my hand!:tup: then i gotta figure out how to protect it, clear coat will burn off i guess, wax maybe?

Duplicolor makes a clear engine enamel good to 500 degrees.

Hey Midway! bout time I heard from you! thanks man, i will look into that, this started out as a ****** up axle..................look at me now! A clear coat would be nice thou i was thinkin. WD should work to. the sad part is im just welded my rotor hub to axle, a new axle is due but i didnt see why welding them 2 together for now was gonna hurt me, I can still get it in n out, why did they make it like that:???: and further whats the actual purpose of the spacer in the carrier:???:

 

[MidwayUSA]

The spacer in the carrier makes the bearings tighten to each other at a specific width without putting too much side load on the ball bearings and the race they run in.

If you use the clear coat on the cases be careful of using carb cleaner and certain brake clean. I cleared my Banshee cases after blasting them, then ruined it with some O'Reilly house brand brake clean. I was cleaning around the carbs to get ready to jet and it ruined the clear on top of the cases. Zep brake clean won't hurt it and it holds up well to the engine heat.

I don't have any of mine apart so I can't give you any dimensions. Maybe someone on here can help with that info. The spacer needs to be in there to prevent too much side load on the bearing. Too much side load will cause them to fail. If you have access to a lathe, it wouldn't be too hard to make one.

 

[4strokerider69]

i got a mill a lathe and everything...so would steel or some alumnium be best...tryin to keep it low budget but dependable...and when u say fail u mean when i land a triple pegged in third im gonna hit the ground n there gonna explode lol i ran em till they did explode already..and shouldnt have cuz i messed eveything else up thnks again man

 

[4strokerider69]

an oh nvm on that other post i asked the same ?

 

[YAMAHAULER]

ask mrjim0214 I think he can give you dimensions of the carrier spacer his is still apart I think? if not I have an extra rear end I can disassemble and get you dimensions of the spacer by later tomorrow night

 

[4strokerider69]

yamahahauler that would be godly of you...im in no rush to assemble my rear end...as i have her a little torn down now....do some mid summer clean up maint. and some mods...i priced a spacer two places one on flea bay n the other on RMATV and both were close to 50 w/o shipping...i refuse to pay that for something that simple...

 

[MidwayUSA]

I would make it out of steel. The outside diameter probably wouldn't matter. The inside diameter probably is not real critical either as long as it isn't too sloppy and slides over the center of the axle. The length is what will be important. As far as failure, I don't know what would happen.

this thread got a little off track

 

[mrjim0214]

Sorry mine is now installed, i guess i shoulda taken dimensions if i had known! I would think you could make 1 thou, nothing but a pipe! measure OD of axle and width between bearings, oh hell yamahauler can get u this ****, **** that **** paying for something so simple! all it is .......is a piece of pipe!
