FWIW, I would love to see FR6's with a 3/8 Hex bore make a come back, I've used them in 2013, 2014 and 2016 without issue. (Bought stock when they were discontinued) From what I've seen, they can be used in Auxilary mechanism, specifically high reduction gear boxes and intake type gearboxes without issue.
