Re: Kit Transmission

I designed the gearbox with the spacer, because I do not like set set screws. The spacer, combined with the screw and washer at the end of the shaft, positively locates the gearbox in the correct spot. When I did prototyping last year, I used PVC tube for the spacer and it worked fine.

The manual, located at the IFI website, describes all of this in detail and provides a drawing for the spacer. I have attached my original drawing for the spacer in this E-mail.
