Another step closer. I've finally finished converting the gearbox input shaft to spline drive rather than the original parallel shaft.

Geewhiz Craig, there's a whole happening here.
Is there a significant"step up" in the Vdrive?
and that engine.....Amazing Work!

I simply won't have the room to fit in a parallel shaft coupling between the gearbox and flywheel. Going to spline drive will allow me to run a thin damper plate style drive similar to a velvet drive arrangement. I'm actually going to use the centre out of a clutch plate.

It's a 9% gear ratio at the moment. The gear set is a Winters quick change arrangement and I can set it up to over or under drive if needed. There are lots of ratios available.
