Posting for a friend- Looking for a Machine shop who can respline a Cad/LaSalle tailshaft to early Ford spline. The machine shop he was using no longer does it. Northeast preferred. Thank You, Robert J. Palmer
Not likely,better off using a LaSalle Fem. splined part,and mate it too/in to/what ever your trying to hook up/
Maybe call Moser Engineering in Indiana? https://www.moserengineering.com/contact/ alchemy....I have always wondered if the young guy in the video you posted is a genius (like you), or if he has a mentor behind the curtain. He tackles some interesting stuff. Lynn
Robert, if you cannot locate a service you could call Bruce Carman as he has a guy locally that does his shafts. PM me if I can help.
I've cut splines to fix parts for old machinery repair before, same method as the video above but used a ball end mill to take out the center portion. I was able to do it in a Hardinge head, nothing else. The shaft fit in a 5C collet.
Bruce Carman the oval track racer? I do know him well enough to talk to, but I didn't realize he did that kind of work.
Bruce has a machine shop that he uses that is in Bennington. And yes the oval track guy, now in his 80's and still building hot rods. My avatar pic is my recent project setting in his shop. His latest 31 is just to the right of my pic.
Did you find someone to shorten and re spline to early ford? I have some that need to be done but do not want to do them myself.
I found my friend did find someone (a H.A.M.B. member too) less then 10 miles away form him the didn't know each other.
