Re: Questions about building a West Coast Drive with VersaChassis
  1. The taps you've been using for aluminum should work fine for that shaft.
  2. See below for a screenshot of the TBNano round shaft installed in a TBMini. It fits, but you will need a hex bearing. Also, there are two things to note. First, the hexagonal portion of the shaft protrudes about .150" beyond the bearing. Make sure it's not going to interfere with anything in your design. Second, the TBNano shaft is .335" shorter than the TBMini long hex shaft that is used in the 4293 design.
  3. Will take a look at your shopping list as soon as you share the gDoc with me =)
